Best Answer

In 1980, Jimmy Carter became the first since 1932 to lose his re-election bid.

In 1976, Gerald Ford became the first incumbent to lose since 1932. However, he was not running for re-election since he was not elected the first time.

Lyndon Johnson chose not to run in 1968 and so avoided the likelihood of losing a reelection bid.

George H. W. Bush lost in the election for a second term against Bill Clinton in 1993. Back in the 1970s, Richard Nixon was elected, but did not serve his full second term; Gerald Ford was not elected after serving as Nixon's replacement; and Jimmy Carter just served one term.

What traditionally happens during the nominating process for a party that has a sitting president up for reelection?

I am not sure what you are asking. A sitting president is normally certain of being nominated for a second term, so he tries to appear statesman-like and keeps apart from the hoop-la of the convention. If he wants a new Vice President or has ideas for the platform, he would let his staff and friends make his wishes known. He will probably appear and make a speech the last day of the convention.
