The Democratic-Republican Party effectively ended in 1824, when it split into separate factions that eventually became the modern Democratic and Republican parties. However, the transition was not immediate, and it took several years for these new parties to fully crystallize and supplant the Democratic-Republican Party.

The two major political parties in the United States are the Democrat Party and the Republican Party. In the political power structure in the USA, third parties have a short life and tend to divert votes from one of the major parties who have similar beliefs. This weakens the party closest to the 3rd party.
Most young people side with the Democratic Party, then many of them switch to the Republican Party as they gain wisdom and experience over the years.
Ronald Reagan was originally a member of the Democratic party but switched to the Republican party in 1962. He was never chairman of the Democratic party.
South Carolina is predominantly a Republican state, especially in recent elections. The Republican Party has held the governorship and majorities in the state legislature for many years. However, there are areas, particularly urban centers like Charleston and Columbia, where Democratic support is stronger. Overall, the state leans Republican in statewide and federal elections.
No a sweep and not a landslide, but the Democratic held a solid majority on every issue.
It was controlled by Democrats the first 2 years, and by Republicans for the last 6 years.
The modern Democratic Party wasn't formed until 1828, or 19 years after Meriwether's death by suicide. However, that party had historic roots back to 1792. While the main parties then were "Democratic-Republican" and "Federalist", President Thomas Jefferson was of the "Democratic-Republican" party. The modern Democratic Party came by a split of the "Democratic-Republican" party, and those who called themselves the Democrats were adhereing to Jeffersonian principles. All that is important as Meriwether Lewis was a political appointee of President Jefferson, so one may infer he was a Democrat. (However, the party's ideology has changed substantially in the two centuries since Meriwether's death.)
Phil Knight, co-founder of Nike, has historically supported candidates from both the Democratic and Republican parties. He has contributed to Democratic campaigns, particularly in recent years, indicating a more liberal stance on certain issues. However, his political affiliations and donations can vary, reflecting a more pragmatic approach rather than strict party loyalty.
The Republican Party had a net gain of 13 seats in the Senate and 57 seats in the House of Representatives, resulting in a transfer of control of both houses of Congress from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party. Democratic President Harry Truman could get very little cooperation from them and referred to them as the "Do Nothing Congress". The Democratic Party regained control of both houses two years later.
