Tumultuous times, 1940. FDR of the Democratic Party vs Willkie of the Republican party.
And then there was Gracie of the Surprise Party.

(Extended advice for those who want to follow her footsteps.)
(No relation, in case you were wondering)

For further election relief, here's an article about Cartoon Characters Running for President, including two women even before Gracie: Betty Boop and Olive Oyl (both from the same cartoon studio).
But if that's too positive for you, here are Cartoon Villains for President.
