The 1988 presidential election marked a significant turning point in American politics, showcasing the rise of modern political scandals and the influence of the religious right. George H. W. Bush's landslide victory over Michael Dukakis, despite his eventual one-term presidency, highlighted key campaign strategies that shaped Republican dominance in the following decades. This election also introduced the first major African American presidential candidacy and laid the groundwork for future political figures like Joe Biden and Donald Trump, influencing the trajectory of U.S. elections.
