In OTL President Warren G. Harding died of a heart attack in July of 1923, before the revelation of the scandals that earned him a reputation as one of the worst presidents in American history. Vice President Calvin Coolidge was distant enough from the various scandals that they didn't seriously impact the 1924 campaign, but what would have happened if Harding survived the heart attack (or it didn't happen)? Would the strong economy have been enough to propel him to reelection, or would the series of scandals have been enough to put a Democrat in the White House?
