Warren G. Harding was able to win the 1920 presidential election by assuring Americans that he would return the country to "normalcy". People were not happy with the war in Europe and Wilson's plan to keep the US involved in European conflicts via a League of Nations. The Democratic candidate opposed prohibition which Harding supported and that stance no doubt won him some votes, especially from WCTU members who were voting for the first time in 1920.

∙ 6y agoThe Democrat Woodrow Wilson had been in office for the last 8 years. People were tired of war and leery of Wilson's plans to embroil the US in European affairs via an new League of Nations. In short, the majority wanted a return to pre-Wilson Republican ideals. The new vote by women may also have been a factor.
