Who won the election for President of the United States on The West Wing?
Matt Santos
Arnold Vinick
ANSWER: According to producers, the Republican Vinick (played by Alan Alda) was originally going to win the race over Santos (Jimmy Smits). But late in the show's final season, actor John Spencer died and writers also killed off his character of Leo McGary, who was Santos' vice presidential nominee. Not wanting to devastate the character twice, the writers gave Santos the win.
