Starting with 1860 the Republican party won most of the presidential elections.

Due to mostly to a need for reform, Cleveland won two split terms, but the Republicans regained power and kept it until Wilson won first in rather a fluke when Roosevelt split the Republican vote with his third party and then won a surprising second term by promising to keep the US out of war. The republicans then regained power , but in 1932, Roosevelt convincingly defeated the incumbent Republican . After that the Democrats and went on to win the next four terms and would have won two more with Eisenhower if he had accepted their offer to run as a Democrat. Thus 1932 was a transition in American presidential politics.
