Confident Republicans Choose Dewey Warren Ticket for 1948
The 1948 Republican National Convention backed Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York for president on the first-ballot blitz and nominated Governor Earl Warren of California for vice president after Stassen withdrew. Dewey led Taft early as candidates courted support, while Vandenberg rose as a strong first-roll contender amid Delaware, Pennsylvania, Missouri alignments. The platform backed ERP, UN, civil rights, anti-lynching, and revised electoral procedures aiming to reflect the popular vote.
