Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ While commonly labeled as the Federalist candidate, Clinton technically ran as a Democratic-Republican and was not nominated by the Federalist party itself, the latter simply deciding not to field a candidate. This did not prevent endorsements from state Federalist parties (such as in Pennsylvania), but he received the endorsement from the New York state Democratic-Republicans as well.
  1. ^ John Langdon had originally been nominated to serve as Madison's running mate, however Langdon declined the nomination and Gerry was chosen instead.
