Origin[]
The Republican Elephant is the traditional mascot for the Republican Party.
A political cartoon by Thomas Nast, published in Harper's Weekly on November 7, 1874, is considered the first important use of the symbol. The Republicans have embraced the elephant as their official symbol and still use it in campaigns today.
