Twenty-eight years ago, an incumbent President, a Republican, lost his bid for re-election. His defeat in 1992 marked the end of an extraordinary career in public service, in terms of its length and of its breadth, for our nation's 41st President. Until this year, it was the last time an incumbent President had lost his bid for re-election.
On January 20, 1993, prior to leaving the White House to attend the inauguration of his victorious opponent, President George H.W. Bush composed a short letter that he left in the Oval Office for the its new occupant, Bill Clinton to read when he walked into the Oval Office for the first time as President of the United States.
