Thanks for posting. Was it Willkie or Dewey in 1944? Willkie dropped out very early in that campaingn after he lost an early primary.
You’re right, it was Dewey in ‘44. However, early in the primaries Willkie raised the issue of FDR’s foreknowledge early in his campaign among GOP leaders. He planned to make the issue a major thrust of his primary campaign. In the interest of national security, he abandoned the issue.
