President Trump began his reelection campaign almost as soon as he took office in 2017, and a host of Democrats seeking to be their party’s candidate are all preparing to run against him. But what if he faces a challenge for the Republican nomination?
A new book from Yahoo News Senior Political Correspondent Jon Ward —”Camelot’s End” — tells the story of the last time a sitting president faced a challenge that seriously threatened to unseat him.
Before 1980, only three times in American history had a president seeking reelection failed to win the nomination of his own party.
Each of these three instances had happened during the tumultuous period just before and after the Civil War.
