California Campaign Echoes in Late GOP Push for Vote
The Republican drive for California's 32 electoral votes surged with last minute appeals centered on world peace. Eisenhower faced criticism from Oregon Sen. Wayne Morse over Korea while Nixon framed his Korea trip as a path to an honorable peace. Warren linked Eisenhower to European peace, and a North California switch sided with Stevenson. McCarthy attacked Truman allies as Stevenson’s backers, and Taft predicted a close race with multiple states in play.
