In 2016 a woman won the popular vote over a man in the presidential election.
The numbers on Tuesday 8 Nov 2016:
Dummkopf Trumpf (male): 62,984,828 (46.1%)
Hillary Clinton (female): 65,853,514 (48.2%)
Hillary Clinton was cheated of her victory by the anachronistic Electoral College system which was designed to keep the status quo in power, as well as Russian interference and James Comey's unwise comments about her personal OPSEC procedures.
Michelle Obama: "Don't ask about me running for Prez because you (we) the Electoral College system isn't ready to have a woman President."
BTW: Democrats historically do better at national elections during peacetime.
Woodrow Wilson (1916) and FDR (1940) won their elections before entering the global conflagrations raging around them. After Woodrow Wilson won, he could decide how to steer the country. When he was advised that a British loss would cost American banks billions of dollars because of loans to their banks that the Kaiser would never honor being repaid, Wilson started tilting isolationist America toward the Allies for the sake of those mega-banks and the US economy
In 1944, more Servicemen identified as Democrats than Republicans and the US kept the course with FDR against fascism.
Look at all the presidential elections from 1948 to 2024.

LBJ himself didn't want to run again, which he announced on national TV on 31 March 1968, two months after this atrocity was perpetrated on 1 Feb 1968 and the Pulitzer Prize-winning photo went viral:
