Whakamahia te rerenga e whai ake nei: Ahakoa tana ngoikoretanga hauora, i hiahia a Wilson ki te whakataetae mo te wā tuatoru. I te mea ko te
1920 Democratic National Convention strongly endorsed Wilson's policies, Democratic leaders refused, nominating instead a ticket consisting of Governor James M. Cox and Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin D. Roosevelt. I whakamanahia e te Kaunihera o te Kaunihera o te Kaunihera o te Kaunihera o te Kaunihera o te Kaunihera o te Kaunihera o te Kaunihera o te Kaunihera. Ko nga Republicans i aro atu ki a raatau pakanga ki nga kaupapa here a Wilson, me te Senate Warren G. Harding e kii ana i te "hoki ki te tikanga". I noho nui a Wilson i waho o te pakanga, ahakoa i tautoko ia i a Cox me te haere tonu ki te tohe mo te mema o te US i te League of Nations. I wikitoria a Harding, i wikitoria ki runga ake i te 60% o te pooti rongonui me nga kawanatanga katoa i waho o te Tonga. I hui a Wilson ki a Harding mo te ti i tana ra whakamutunga i te tari, i te Poutu-te-rangi 3, 1921. Na tona hauora, kaore i taea e Wilson te haere ki te whakatuunga.
