The 1920 presidential election reflected a significant shift in American public opinion, particularly in the wake of World War I and the social changes of the 1920s. Voters favored a return to "normalcy," signaling a desire to move away from wartime engagement and progressive reforms. The election of Warren G.

This election also highlighted the increasing influence of women in politics, as it was the first election in which women could vote nationwide.
