Best Answer

With the exception of George Washington, who had no party affilliation, every US presidential election has been won by nominees of the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, the Democratic-Republican Party, the Whig Party or the Federalist Party, all of which were major parties at the times. In 1864, Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson won as National Union Party candidates, but that was part of the Republican Party.
