In the general Presidential election, Ronald Reagan defeated incumbent Jimmy Carter who was running for re-election.

In the Republican Primary, Reagan defeated George H. W. Bush, whom later became Reagan's vice presidential running mate. Bush famously accused Reagan of voodoo economics, and Bush was later proven right as both the deficit and debt skyrocketed under Reagan's leadership, making the US the largest debtor in the world.
