Which president lost a close race for president then came back eight years later and was elected twice?
Grover Cleveland is both the 22nd and 24th US President.
He was elected President in 1884. Seeking re-election in 1888, he obtained a majority of the popular vote but was beaten in the electoral college by Republican candidate Benjamin Harrison. Ironically, this was because Cleveland narrowly lost his home state of New York. In 1892, Cleveland beat Harrison in both the popular vote and the electoral college to win a second non-consecutive term, the only President to do so.
