Warren G. Harding was the 29th President of the United States, serving from 1921 until his death in 1923. Born on November 2, 1865, in Ohio, Harding was a newspaper publisher before entering politics. He served in the Ohio legislature and the U.S. Senate before winning the presidency in 1920 with a campaign promising a “return to normalcy” after World War I.Harding’s presidency is often remembered for the Teapot Dome scandal, which involved government officials and was one of the most significant scandals of its time, although Harding himself was not implicated in the wrongdoing. His administration’s policies favored pro-business stances and limited immigration.Despite his initial popularity, Harding’s legacy has been overshadowed by the scandals that emerged after his death, and his administration is frequently ranked among the least effective in U.S. history. He passed away suddenly on August 2, 1923, while in office, and was succeeded by Vice President Calvin Coolidge.
