Definition(s)

  • FOR MOST OF the 1800s through the mid-1900s, presidential campaigns were largely party-centric affairs in which candidates rarely campaigned actively for the office. Broad coalitions of state and local party organizations worked at the grassroots level to mobilize voters in support of the party's nominee.
