As he served more than two years of Nixon's remaining term (August 1974 to January 1977), Ford would have been ineligible to run again in 1980 due to the 22nd amendment, had he been reelected in 1976.
I suppose Ford's reelection in 1976 would have resulted in something like this:
✓ Former Governor Reubin Askew (D-FL)/Senator John Glenn (D-OH): 340 EVs.; 51.8%Vice President Bob Dole (R-KS)/Senator Howard Baker (R-TN): 198 EVs.; 46.6%After 12 years of GOP White House control, the pendulum swings back.
