Kefauver pressed ahead in California vowing a strong campaign after Florida loss, calling his Florida showing a moral victory. He argued the Florida result proves he can unify the party and win California’s 68 delegates, despite Stevenson leading with party support and funds.
Florida's Democratic presidential primary results show Adlai Stevenson with 174 pledged and Estes Kefauver at 133. Unofficial returns indicate Florida split 1 22 to Stevenson and 6 to Kefauver for convention votes. Stevenson also gains in Alabama, with 14 votes in the runoff, while other delegates lean Stevenson.
Adlai Stevenson wins a Florida primary likely earning 22 of 28 convention votes as supporters hail a path to the Democratic nomination. James Finnegan cites superior organization in California, while Kefauver fights on. Analysts note Florida’s result reshapes strategies for California and potential August convention debates. Stevenson plans Memorial Day campaigning in the Napa Valley before Los Angeles.
