President before election Calvin Coolidge Republican Elected President Calvin Coolidge Republican

New Mexico was won by incumbent President Calvin Coolidge, who ran against West Virginia Congressman John W. Davis, and Progressive Party icon Robert La Follette. That Coolidge won New Mexico with less than half of the vote[1] is telling of the critical split his opponents between a conservative Southern Democrat compromise candidate and the more radical Progressive Party.
