how successful was Harding in fulfilling his campaign pledge pf returning the country to normalcy?

Answer 1

Harding is on the short list of most disreputable and corrupt US presidents in history. If he returned the country to "normalcy" then we are all in trouble.

Answer 2

In the sense of getting the country back into profitable big business, Harding was successful in a "return to normalcy." That said, his presidency was marked by scandal and corruption and he died halfway through his term, so it's tough to consider him a successful president.
