Question

Samuel Tilden, Grover Cleveland, Al Gore, and Hillary Clinton share what distinction among U.S. presidential candidates?

Answer 1

Samuel Tilden, Grover Cleveland, Al Gore, and Hillary Clinton share the distinction of being U.S. presidential candidates who won the popular vote but lost the Electoral College vote.

Answer 2

Samuel Tilden, Grover Cleveland, Al Gore, and Hillary Clinton all won the popular vote in the U.S. presidential election but lost the electoral college, preventing them from becoming president. Tilden lost to Rutherford B. Hayes in 1876, Cleveland lost to Benjamin Harrison in 1888, Gore lost to George W. Bush in 2000, and Clinton lost to Donald Trump in 2016. This has led to ongoing debates and criticisms of the electoral college system in the United States.
