Symington Wins Missouri Senate Race Over Truman Backed Taylor
Missouri voters rejected Truman’s pick Buck Taylor for the Senate and backed Stuart Symington, a newcomer who returned to Missouri last February after leading RF C cleanup work. The Pendergast faction, backing Taylor, suffered a heavy loss as anti-Pendergast coalitions carried the statewide result, signaling a broader desire for change ahead of fall elections. Symington carried Truman loyalist precincts, including Independence, where Taylor received 20 votes to Symington’s 114. Governor Stevenson faces political recalibration as Missouri’s outcome hints at shifting national mood.
