Pennsylvania overwhelmingly voted for the Republican nominee, U.S. Supreme Court Justice and former New York Governor Charles Evans Hughes, over the Democratic nominee, President Woodrow Wilson. Hughes won Pennsylvania by a large margin of 14.04%.
With 56.26% of the vote, Pennsylvania would prove to be Hughes's third strongest state in terms of popular votes percentage after Vermont and neighboring New Jersey.[1] Wilson is one of two presidents (along with George W. Bush) to win two terms without ever carrying the state, and the only Democrat to do so.
