Andrew Jackson
One president who significantly changed politics by his popularity with the common man was Andrew Jackson. Jackson was able to connect with ordinary citizens and portrayed himself as a champion of their interests, which helped him win the presidency in 1828. His presidency ushered in a era of populist politics, with a focus on expanding suffrage and challenging elite power.
Even though he lost the election after it came to the House, it showed he was a major player on the national political stage. He and his party could see what it might take to win the presidency next time.
Henry Clay was called "Judas of the West" by Andrew Jackson because of his involvement in the Corrupt Bargain of 1824, where Clay was accused of making a deal to help John Quincy Adams win the presidency in exchange for a cabinet position.
