All the presidential electors in 1789 cast their votes for George Washington, making him the unanimous choice for the presidency. The vice presidency was a separate position and was not chosen in the same manner as today's elections. The presidential inauguration was indeed held in Philadelphia, but this was not unique to the 1789 elections, as it was the capital city at the time. John Adams did not campaign against George Washington, as Adams was actually one of Washington's strongest supporters. Antifederalists did not win a convincing majority in the Senate during the 1789 elections.
