    Incumbents in Last 50 Years Who Lost Reelection:
    38 Gerald R. Ford*
    39 Jimmy Carter
    41 George H.W. Bush
    45 Donald J. Trump

    * Ford was never elected in the first place.

    Incumbents in Last 50 Years Who Won Reelection:
    37 Richard M. Nixon
    40 Ronald Reagan
    42 Bill Clinton
    43 George W. Bush
    44 Barack Obama

    Only one person has been elected to non-consecutive terms, as Trump hopes to be in 2024. I have not made a list of all who have attempted it.
    22 Grover Cleveland
    24 Grover Cleveland

    Would you like to know the source of the above info? It's all from ClydeR.
    Word playa. Look at the list of incumbents in the last 50 years who lost reelection, and ask yourself a simple question. What do they all have in common?

    Hint:
