US President Abraham Lincoln was the first member of the Republican Party to be elected US president. He, however, was not the first Republican to run for the presidency. In 1854, Republican John Fremont ran for president, on a radical platform and lost.

Who was the first Republican president of the United States?

Abraham Lincoln was the first president who was a member of the modern Republican party. Some sources, particularly simplified charts, describe earlier presidents as being republican, but that was a different and not directly related party, which was formally called the Republican Democratic party. Thomas Jefferson, for example, is often cited as being the first Republican president, but he was, in fact, a Republican Democrat (which actually spawned a quasi-modern Democratic party).
