Episode 19 - Rutherford B. Hayes | PRESIDENTIAL podcast | The Washington Pos

How does a vicious, close and disputed election spill over into a presidency? We examine the razor-thin election results for Rutherford B. Hayes, and the equally fine line he then had to tread as president during the end of Reconstruction. The Washington Post's “Presidential” podcast explores how each former American president reached office, made decisions, handled crises and redefined the role of commander-in-chief. Hosted by Lillian Cunningham, the series features Pulitzer Prize-winning biographers like David McCullough and Washington Post journalists like Bob Woodward.
