As no Democratic candidate is able to win the party's nomination, former President Andrew Jackson endorses incumbent President John Tyler for the nomination. Jackson convinces his party to nominate the sitting president because of the Texas issue and the advantage of the incumency. James Polk is nominated as Vice President (in real life, dark horse candidate Polk hoped to be nominated for Vice President before the convention started).
The Whigs nominate Senator Henry Clay, who bitterly opposed Tyler's policies in the past year. Discuss with maps.
