New York Governor Seeks Presidency After Election Breakthrough
The New York governor, who long aimed for the presidency, broke precedent by securing the Republican nomination after losing to Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944. Wall Street reacted with stock price drops amid uncertainty over potential post election policy shifts. Truman opposed tax cuts and pursued wartime excess profits taxes during a special session. World reaction favored no major shift in U S policy with bi partisan roots. Cabinet doubt grows about continued administration loyalties beyond To bin and Brannan.
