US Presidential Election Donkey and Elephant

US Presidential Election 2024: The Presidential election in America is being held between Republican Party candidate Donald Trump and Democratic Party leader Kamala Harris. There are two major political parties in America’s presidential elections. Republican Party and Democratic Party. The symbols of both these parties are elephant and donkey. These symbols play an important role in American politics and have an interesting history. So let us tell you the interesting story of the elephant and the donkey related to America’s elections.

Elephant is the symbol of Republican Party

The symbol of the Republican Party is the elephant and originated on November 7, 1874 when famous cartoonist Thomas Nast first used it in a political cartoon. Nast published a cartoon in Harper’s Weekly magazine depicting an elephant “voting Republican”. This cartoon made the elephant the symbol of the Republican Party. The main idea behind this was that the elephant is a strong, stable and glorious animal, which symbolizes the policies and ideology of the Republican Party.

Donkey is the symbol of Democratic Party

The symbol of the Democratic Party is the donkey. The symbol first emerged in the presidential election of 1828 when Andrew Jackson, the Democratic Party candidate, was insulted by his opponents by calling him “Jackass” (donkey). Jackson proudly adopted this derogatory nickname and began using Donkey in his campaigning. Later, Thomas Nast used the donkey in his cartoons in the 1870s, making the symbol permanently associated with the Democratic Party. The donkey is a symbol of the Democratic Party’s simplicity, hard work and loyalty to the common people.
