1976 United States elections

[1] Former Democratic Governor Jimmy Carter of Georgia defeated Republican incumbent President Gerald Ford.

The convention nominated Kansas Senator Bob Dole as Ford's running mate, instead of sitting Vice President Nelson Rockefeller.

Carter defeated a slew of competitors in the 1976 Democratic primaries, including California Governor Jerry Brown, Alabama Governor George Wallace, Arizona Congressman Mo Udall, Washington Senator Henry M. Jackson, and Idaho Senator Frank Church.

Neither the House nor Senate saw major changes in partisan composition, so the Democrats retained control of Congress.

Democrats won the nationwide popular vote for the House of Representatives by a margin of 13.6 percentage points.
