Candidate Dwight Eisenhower
Image
Formal portrait Dwight D. Eisenhower at the time of his first Presidential campaign. Senator Joseph R. McCarthy was one of the most difficult issues Eisenhower faced during the campaign. In a speech in Green Bay, Eisenhower stated that he agreed with McCarthy's goals, but disagreed with his methods. A strong defense of George C. Marshall, a frequent target of McCarthy's attacks, was deleted from the speech, however, on the advice of Wisconsin politicians. They warned the future President that alienation of McCarthy's Wisconsin supporters might cost him Wisconsin's electoral votes.
