Eisenhower and Nixon were both elected as Republicans.
Until he ran for president, Eisenhower avoided any political affiliation. While he was still in the Army, several people suggested to Eisenhower that he should run for public office once his military career was over - in fact, in 1947 Harry Truman offered to run with him on the Democratic presidential ticket in 1948 but Eisenhower turned him down. Some major figures in the Democratic party actually tried to swing their party's nomination in 1948 to Eisenhower but he emphatically refused to be part of it. Truman tried again in 1951 to get Ike to run for president as a Democrat. At that point Eisenhower finally voiced his disagreements with the Democratic party and declared himself and his family to be Republicans - and of course the Republicans promptly got busy talking him into running as their candidate.
Nixon was affiliated with the Republican party from his election in 1946 as the US Representative from the 12th Congressional District until his resignation as President of the USA.
