Russell seeks Democratic nomination for president
Genatee Richard B. Russell of Georgia announced he will seek the Democratic nomination for President. He said he would comply with the unanimous requests of the Georgia General Assembly and the State Democratic Executive Committee to become a candidate. Russell, the second Democrat in the race, frames himself as a Jeffersonian Democrat favoring local self government. Senator Estes Kefauver is the other announced candidate. President Truman was undecided on renomination during a Florida trip. Southern Democrats encouraged Russell to run to back a candidate they could fully support. Eisenhower is expected to testify on U. S. aid to North Atlantic Treaty nations. Taft and Eisenhower backers clash over delegate strength and timing for the nomination.
