After nearly four years as President and dealing with the infighting in his own cabinet and with partisan critics Washington showed little enthusiasm in running for a second term while Martha also wanted him not to run. James Madison urged him not to retire that his absence would only allow the dangerous political rift in his cabinet and in the House to worsen Jefferson also pleaded with him not to retire and agreed to drop his attacks on Hamilton or he would also retire if Washington did. Hamilton maintained that Washington's absence would be "deplored as the greatest evil" to the country at this time.
