His pardon of Nixon is widely thought to have cost him the election in 1976.
One action that cost Gerald Ford the presidency was his decision to pardon former President Richard Nixon for his involvement in the Watergate scandal. Many Americans viewed this as a corrupt act that protected a fellow politician rather than upholding justice, and it damaged Ford's credibility and trust with the public. Additionally, the struggling economy and high inflation rates during his presidency also contributed to his loss in the 1976 election.
