Political maneuvers swirl around 1924 presidential race
California Senator Johnson looms as a potential third party candidate. He could back Harding to win California then seek the presidency if Harding falters. Democrats fear a Johnson third ticket might sweep California’s electoral votes. Other theories center on Hearst or Clark, while McAdoo’s decline and Pershing rumors fuel a tense, shifting landscape among party leaders.
