The 1992 election coincided with Arkansas governor Bill Clinton's election as President of the United States, in which he also won his home state. In contrast with Bumpers' landslide where he won over 60% of the vote, Clinton won only 53% of the vote. Bumpers would serve another term in the U.S. Senate before deciding to retire in 1998. As of 2016, this would be the last time that Arkansas would simultaneously vote for a Democratic Presidential and a Democratic Senate candidate.
