1884: Grover Cleveland
In what appears to be The Sun's first formal presidential endorsement, the paper backed Grover Cleveland in 1884. He was a conservative Democrat in a pragmatic mold that the paper's owners, the Abell family, appreciated. The Abells and the president eventually became close friends.
