1948 THOMAS E. DEWEY JUGATE campaign pin pinback button political badge election

A 1948 Thomas E. Dewey Presidential Campaign Button and Ribbon with VP nominee Earl Warren" DEWEY WARREN "Pinback button promoting Thomas Dewey for president and Earl Warren for vice president, 1948.Two governors from opposite coasts headed the Republican ticket in 1948, Thomas Dewey of New York, and Earl Warren of California. Dewey was reprising his candidacy, having made a respectable showing against an arguably unbeatable Franklin Roosevelt in 1944. By 1948, FDR was long in the grave, and Dewey faced a much weaker Harry Truman. Warren, the hugely popular governor of the Sunshine State, had come in second in the Republican primaries and was a natural choice for VP. Most observers predicted almost certain victory for the ticket in November.This attractive jugate pinback features portraits of Dewey and Warren over an American flag. We offer a choice, nicely centered example.Thomas Edmund Dewey (March 24, 1902 – March 16, 1971) was governor of New York (1943 – 1954). In 1944 and 1948, he was the Republican candidate for President, but lost both times. He led the liberal faction of the Republican Party, in which he fought conservative Ohio Senator Robert A. Taft. Dewey advocated for the professional and business community of the Northeastern United States, which would later be called the "Eastern Establishment." This organization accepted the majority of New Deal social-welfare reforms enacted after 1944. It consisted of internationalists who were in favor of the United Nations and the "Cold War" fought against communism and the Soviet Union. In addition, he played a large part in the election of Dwight D. Eisenhower as President in 1952. Dewey's successor as leader of the liberal Republicans was Nelson Rockefeller, who became governor of New York in 1959. The New York State Thruway is named in Dewey's honor.Item Details:This button and ribbon are in MINT condition and will be a fantastic addition to upgrade any collection large or small.This button measures 1.25 inches in diameter.Please disregard any glares or shadows.
