The first Republican president was Lincoln, but he didn't travel the Oregon trail.
Oregon
No, in the 2000, 2004 and 2008 Presidential elections Oregon voted for the Democratic candidate in the Presidential elections and while Indiana did select Obama in 2008 they chose George W. Bush over Al Gore in 2000 and over John Kerry in 2004. Blue State versus Red State is not a guarantee in Presidential elections.
In 1844, the Democratic Party was characterized by its support for westward expansion and the concept of Manifest Destiny, which sought to extend the United States' territory across the continent. The party, led by presidential candidate James K. Polk, advocated for the annexation of Texas and the acquisition of Oregon and California. Additionally, the Democrats were generally aligned with agrarian interests and sought to promote the rights of slaveholders, reflecting the party's Southern base at the time.
In the 1856 presidential election, James Buchanan, the Democratic candidate, did not win in the states of California, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Oregon, and Vermont. The election saw Buchanan securing a majority of the electoral votes, but these states favored his opponents, particularly the Republican candidate John C. Frémont and the Know-Nothing candidate Millard Fillmore.

James K. Polk ran for president in the election of 1844. He was the Democratic nominee and won the election, defeating Whig candidate Henry Clay. Polk's campaign focused on expansionist themes, including the annexation of Texas and the acquisition of Oregon. He served as the 11th president of the United States from 1845 to 1849.
President John Tyler faced several diplomatic challenges during his administration, including tensions with Britain over the Oregon Territory, disputes regarding the annexation of Texas, and issues related to relations with Mexico. The Oregon dispute was marked by conflicting land claims, leading to a potential conflict that was ultimately resolved through negotiation. The annexation of Texas, which Tyler strongly supported, heightened tensions with Mexico and complicated U.S. relations in the region. Additionally, Tyler's efforts to secure favorable trade agreements highlighted the complexities of U.S. foreign policy during his presidency.
