Answer 1

Answer:

B. Dwight D. Eisenhower

Explanation:

President Truman, who had always supported Eisenhower's idea of ​​running for election, again pressed him in 1951 to run as Democrat. Yet Eisenhower publicly disclosed his disagreements with the Democrats and stated that he and his family were Republicans .

During the election, against the advice of his advisors, Eisenhower campaigned in the southern United States, refusing to hand over that territory to the Democrats. The strategy was to attack the Truman and Roosevelt governments on policies regarding Korea, communism, and corruption. He said he would liberate eastern Europe and contain the Soviet Union by peaceful means.

Two weeks before the election, Eisenhower said he would go to Korea and end the war there. He promised to remain hard on Communism, while avoiding mentioning NATO (something the people still suspected). Finally, he said he would make a government responsible and free of corruption. Finally, in November 1952, he defeated Democratic candidate Adlai Stevenson, winning 34 million votes (seven million more than Stevenson).
