He served from 1921 until his death in 1923.  He was a Republican.  At that time, he was one of the most popular US Presidents, but the subsequent exposure of scandals that took place under his administration, and an affair eroded his popular regard.  Harding is often rated among the worst US Presidents (Wikipedia -- Harding, 2018).
