New Jersey voted for the Democratic nominee, incumbent President Grover Cleveland, over the Republican nominee, Benjamin Harrison. Cleveland won his birth state by a very narrow margin of 2.35%.
A Republican would not win the White House without New Jersey again until 112 years later in 2000, when Al Gore won New Jersey by a landslide but narrowly lost the national election.
