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. 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.
