Add to SetSummary
As early as 1916, Henry Ford's accomplishments as an industrialist and reputation as a friend to working people earned him support as a potential candidate for President of the United States. Grassroots organizations pushed for a Ford candidacy in 1924, but Ford instead endorsed Republican incumbent Calvin Coolidge, who won that year's election.
