All contemporary 46 states were part of the 1908 United States presidential election. Voters chose eight electors to the Electoral College, which selected the president and vice president. Nebraska was won by the Democratic nominees, former Representative William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska and his running mate John W. Kern of Indiana. They defeated the Republican Party nominees, former Secretary of War William Howard Taft of Ohio and his running mate James S. Sherman of New York. Bryan won his home state by a narrow margin of 1.54%. Bryan had previously won Nebraska against William McKinley in 1896 but lost it to McKinley in their 1900 rematch. Bryan's two wins in the state are the only times a Democrat has carried Nebraska without winning the presidency, although Kamala Harris would win one of the state's electoral votes in her unsuccessful 2024 presidential bid. As of 2024, this along with 1892 is the second and last time that Nebraska has voted for a different presidential candidate than neighboring Kansas.
