The 1888 United States presidential election in Florida took place on November 6, 1888. All contemporary 38 states were part of the 1888 United States presidential election. Florida voters chose four electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president.
Florida was won by the Democratic nominees, incumbent President Grover Cleveland of New York and his running mate Allen G. Thurman of Ohio.
This was the last election until 2020 that Florida increased its margin to an incumbent who lost re-election nationally.
This was also the only time Florida voted for a Democrat who won the popular vote but lost the presidential election. In 1876, 2000, and 2016, Florida voted for a Republican who lost the popular vote but won the Electoral College.
