Historical reputation of Warren G. Harding

Warren G. Harding, the 29th president of the United States, died in office as one of the most popular presidents in the country's history, but the subsequent exposure of the scandals eroded his popular regard, as did revelations of several extramarital affairs. In historical rankings during the decades after his term in office, Harding was often rated among the worst. However, in recent decades, many historians have begun to fundamentally reassess the conventional views of Harding's historical record in office.
