On this day, November 8, 1988, George H.W. Bush was elected as the 41st president of the United States, defeating Democratic candidate Michael Dukakis. This election marked the continuation of Republican leadership following Ronald Reagan’s two terms, with Bush emphasizing a “kinder, gentler nation” in his campaign. His victory led to a presidency that would navigate significant global and domestic changes, including the end of the Cold War.
