Pennsylvania overwhelmingly voted for the Republican nominee, President William McKinley, over the Democratic nominee, former U.S. Representative and 1896 Democratic presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan. McKinley won Pennsylvania by a landslide margin of 24.31% in this rematch of the 1896 United States presidential election. The return of economic prosperity and recent victory in the Spanish–American War helped McKinley to score a decisive victory.
With 60.74% of the popular vote, Pennsylvania would be McKinley's fourth strongest victory in terms of percentage in the popular vote after Vermont, North Dakota and Maine.[1]
Bryan had previous lost Pennsylvania to McKinley four years earlier and would later lose the state again in 1908 to William Howard Taft.
