Additionally, it was only the second time, and the first in nearly 100 years that a Republican candidate defeated an incumbent Democrat. This was the second successive election in which the incumbent president was defeated, after Carter himself defeated Gerald Ford four years earlier in 1976. Republican nominee Ronald Reagan defeated incumbent Democratic president Jimmy Carter in a landslide victory. It was held on Tuesday, November 4, 1980. The 1980 United States presidential election was the 49th quadrennial presidential election.
