Who was the first president to talk to American people?
It depends on which time period you are asking about. The first president of the United States was George Washington, so he would have been the first to talk with the American people, in the late 1700s. But how a president met the voters changed over the decades. Washington would have mainly talked to the people in person, giving speeches or holding events (such as parties). Back in the late 1700s, there were only newspapers and magazines, and it took days for them to reach people. There was no radio, no TV, no internet, no telegraph, no telephone, not even a transcontinental railroad to make travel easier. Usually, candidates, including those running for president, rode in horse-drawn carriages to events, and met the voters who came out to see them. In the mid-1800s, new inventions made communication easier, and in fact, by the late 1800s, newspapers and magazines arrived much more quickly; the telegraph and the telephone made it easier and faster for journalists to report the latest information. You could now read about what the president was saying the same day he said it. Then, in 1920, radio came along; the first president to talk to the American people by radio was Warren G. Harding. Calvin Coolidge used radio to campaign, and so did Herbert Hoover, but the most famous "radio president" was Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the 1930s. And of course, once television came along and became popular (beginning in the late 1940s), presidents could use TV to reach out and talk to millions of Americans.

A very famous picture of President Truman holding a copy of the Chicago Sun Times, the front page of which reads Dewey defeats Truman, has entered the collective consciousness. Finally, in the election of 1952, President Truman was defeated by Dwight David Eisenhour. Lyndon Baines Johnson who was elected Vice President for President John Fitzgerald Kennedy's term as the 35th U.S. President, was sworn in as the 36th U.S. President on November 22, 1963, following the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. To date, President Lyndon Baines Johnson is the only President to be sworn in by a female judge. President Lyndon Baines Johnson was elected to the Presidency in his own right in the election of 1964.

President Richard Milhous Nixon was re-elected in 1972. However, President Richard Milhous Nixon resigned the Presidency in 1974. Gerald Ford ascended to the Vice Presidency to replace Spiro Agnew who resigned as Vice President for President Richard Milhous Nixon amid a financial corruption scandal. Later, in 1974 when President Richard Milhous Nixon resigned, Vice President Gerald Ford became the 38th U.S. President. President Gerald Ford lost the election of 1976 to Jimmy Carter.
