In the 1852 U.S. presidential election, the Whigs nominated Commanding General of the United States Army Winfield Scott for U.S. President and U.S. Secretary of the Navy William Alexander Graham for U.S. Vice President. Ultimately, the Scott-Graham ticket lost to the Democratic ticket of Franklin Pierce and U.S. Senator William R. King.
