The Curse of Tippecanoe (also known as Tecumseh's Curse or the 20 Year Presidential Curse) is the supposed pattern of deaths in office of presidents of the United States who won the elections in years that are evenly divisible by 20,[1] since the 1840 election. Because of the timing of presidential elections, these are also those taking place in years ending with 0.
1. William Henry Harrison (elected in 1840)
2.Abraham Lincoln (1860)
2.
James A. Garfield (1880)
3.
William McKinley (1900)
4. Warren G. Harding (1920)
5. Franklin D. Roosevelt (1940)
6. John F. Kennedy (1960)
7. Ronald Reagan (1980)
was seriously wounded by
gunshot, but survived more than 15 years after his second
term.
8. George W. Bush (2000)
survived his terms in office, despite an assassination attempt.
Joe Biden (Sleepy Joe) (2020), the current President, is next
in line to this purported curse.
