Stassen's Flight From Nixon Sparks Presidential Debate
Stassen urged dropping Nixon and naming Gov. Herter as running mate, claiming polls showed Nixon would hurt Eisenhower. Republican leaders reacted with force, leaving Stassen with fading support as he sought Eisenhower's aid. The President later indicated conditional backing if Stassen sought Nixon’s nomination as vice president.
