02 November 1948 - PRESIDENT HARRY TRUMAN DEFEATS THOMAS DEWEY: By a
narrow margin, President Harry Truman wins an upset victory over
Republican challenger Thomas Dewey, the governor of New York in the race
for the US presidency. Truman's win will be considered the greatest
upset in the history of US presidential elections.

The election took place during the beginning stages of the Cold War.
Democratic incumbent President Harry S. Truman was elected to a full
term in an upset, defeating Republican nominee New York Governor Thomas
E. Dewey and two erstwhile Democrats. The Democrats won back control of
Congress from the Republicans. Until 2020, Democrats would never again
flip a chamber of Congress in a presidential election cycle.

In the presidential election, President Truman ran for reelection
despite being widely seen, even by fellow Democrats, as a vulnerable
incumbent who was too risky for the party to nominate, but he ultimately
won his party's nomination. In the fight for the Republican nomination,
Thomas E. Dewey, who lost the previous presidential election, was
renominated. In the end, Truman won the presidential election over Dewey
in an upset.
