The campaign of President Warren G. Harding promised a "return to normalcy." This idea reflected the political sentiment of the time. People were tired of the war, and of the hardships that it brought. Their wish was to go back to the days before WWI. These days were what Harding referred to as "normalcy." He won the election by gaining 61% of the popular vote, and 37 of 48 states in the Electoral College.
