"Bush Quayle 92" Campaign Button, 1992
01
Artifact Overview
President George H. W. Bush ran for reelection in 1992. A year earlier, high approval ratings after the end of the Persian Gulf War buoyed the Republican candidate's chances. But a sluggish economy, loss of key advisors, a right-wing insurgency, and a strong third-party challenger ended his bid for a second term. He lost to the former Democratic governor of Arkansas Bill Clinton.
