Since his victory over Henry Wallace four years ago, Harold Stassen has presided over a successful—if tumultuous term in office. The Treaty of Hong Kong promises to build a lasting peace by splitting China down the Yangtze, and Civil War in Korea has roped the United States into another proxy war in East Asia. Though Stassen swept to power on a program of interventionism, his willingness to send American troops marching abroad has grown increasingly unpopular. Meanwhile, since Communist organizations were outlawed by the Walter-Nixon Act, the passions of the HUAC appears to have manifested in the Senate in the form of Senator Joseph McCarthy's innumerable accusations against suspected agents of Communism.

To be continued.
A homegrown Minnesotan who won the 1948 Election on a platform of strength abroad and a crackdown on Communism at home, it appears Stassen has fostered just that in his four years as president.
Though Stassen remains popular among the American people, a plethora of his signature programs have failed in Congress, most notably his attempt to enact anti-lynching legislation and a larger, more comprehensive housing act.
With the Treaty of Hong Kong, Stassen has the opportunity to end the war in China if he plays his cards right. If not, the magnitude of American involvement in the war could swallow up Stassen's presidency whole. Nonetheless, civil strife in Korea subsequently threatens to bring America into yet another East Asian conflict. Should Stassen be able to convince Americans that his leadership is working for Americans, it may very well be Stassen again.

In order to be the first Republican re-elected in over a generation, Stassen must prove to the nation that his unique brand of outsider politics can continue to successfully govern the nation, and that the Second Red Scare he's helped foster is truly necessary to eliminate foreign subversions. Meanwhile, Sid McMath will be forced to define himself nationally whilst keeping his own party in order to surmount all odds and win this election.
Since his victory over Henry Wallace four years ago, Harold Stassen has presided over a successful—if tumultuous term in office. The Treaty of Hong Kong promises to build a lasting peace by splitting China down the Yangtze, and Civil War in Korea has roped the United States into another proxy war in East Asia. Though Stassen swept to power on a program of interventionism, his willingness to send American troops marching abroad has grown increasingly unpopular. Meanwhile, since Communist organizations were outlawed by the Walter-Nixon Act, the passions of the HUAC appears to have manifested in the Senate in the form of Senator Joseph McCarthy's innumerable accusations against suspected agents of Communism.
