This was the first time since 1944, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt won re-election, that a Democratic incumbent president had won two consecutive presidential elections.[1]

Convention edit

The 1996 Democratic National Convention held in Chicago sparked protests, such as the one whereby Civil Rights Movement historian Randy Kryn and 10 others were arrested by the Federal Protective Service,[2] and Clinton won the party's nomination.

Election and victory edit

With 379 electoral votes, President Bill Clinton won the 1996 presidential election. Clinton received over 47 million popular votes.[3]
