The 22th (and 24th) US President was Democrat Grover Cleveland, elected in 1884 and in 1892.
Although Vice President Andrew Johnson, a Democrat, succeeded to the Presidency on the death of Abraham Lincoln, the next four Presidents were Republicans:
Ulysses S. Grant, elected in 1868 and 1872 (18th President)
Rutherford B. Hayes, elected 1876 (19th President)
James Garfield, elected 1880 (20th President)
Checter A. Arthur, succeeded Garfield (21st President)

∙ 8y agoAndrew Johnson succeeded Lincoln and was a Democrat, but he wasn't elected. It wasn't until Grover Cleveland was elected in 1884 that a Democrat was elected President. I think that back then the winner of the election was named President and the loser of the election became Vice President. That is the reason the Democrat Johnson succeeded the Republican Lincoln.
