Some challenges that President Lincoln faced in the election of 1864 were the following:
- Disagreement with the Emancipation Proclamation
- Many felt that Lincoln was too soft on the South
- The population was weary of the costs and length of the war
Clearly, he overestimated the chances of George B. McClellan to win the US presidency for the Democrats in November of 1864. His overestimation caused him to be concerned.

∙ 7y agoPresident Lincoln saw a problem for his presidency in the Summer of 1864. Some Republicans wanted to nominate a new candidate for the 1864 presidential elections. Another challenge came from various Northern peace groups that wanted the war to end by an agreement. On the horizon was a possible Democrat nominee, George B. McClellan. He still retained his popularity among the Northern public. The other serious challenge was the enormous amount of Union casualties based on the US Grant Overland Campaign in Virginia.

Lincoln (President) and Andrew Johnson (Vice-President), running on the National Union ticket defeated George B. McLellin (candidate for President) and George H.

McLellin was the Commanding General of the United States Army at the outset of the Civil War but was removed from that position by Lincoln following the Battle of Antietam. He was privately dismissive, even derisive, of Lincoln as the commander-in-chief and Lincoln obviously lacked confidence in him, so the election of 1864 was just another example of them clashing (with Lincoln coming out on top again).
