1944 United States presidential election

The 1944 U.S. presidential election took place during World War II, with Franklin D. Roosevelt seeking his fourth term as president. Despite health concerns, Roosevelt was nominated again, facing Republican candidate Thomas E. Dewey. The election was influenced by the ongoing war effort and Roosevelt’s leadership. Roosevelt ultimately won, securing re-election in November 1944. Unfortunately, he died early in his fourth term in April 1945, making Vice President Harry S. Truman the new president. The election was significant for demonstrating public support for Roosevelt’s wartime policies and his sustained leadership during a global crisis.
