Unprecedented? Both Truman and Johnson were incumbents who withdrew from the race.


But both served more than one four year term. Harry did almost 8.

Johnson was president for five years and only elected once, so he was constitutionally eligible to seek re-election and serve another term (22nd Amendment: 10 years max). Truman was not eligible.
