The Trump-Biden transition is unique -- but it wasn't the first to spiral into conflict
Richard Nixon’s close political allies alleged voting fraud and demanded recounts after his loss to John F. Kennedy in 1960, including in New Jersey. Unlike President Donald Trump, Nixon publicly accepted the loss, though he privately said he'd been robbed.
Herbert Hoover attempted to undermine Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s proposed New Deal after Hoover lost the 1932 presidential election, setting the stage for political divisions that still exist.
Andrew Jackson’s followers blamed a so-called “corrupt bargain” in Congress for costing him the presidency in 1824. He won four years later, supported by people who believed he was their champion against Washington elites.
History experts say that the transition following the 2020 election is certainly unique, taking place amid a presidential impeachment, widely-believed but debunked claims of voter fraud, and threats of violence by groups fueled by bizarre conspiracy theories. But, while peaceful presidential handoffs following even the most contentious elections are a hallmark of American politics, they are not always smooth.
