he was not supported by most of the people. Americans disliked the Korean War and felt General Eisenhower, either as a Democrat or Republican, could handle the problem better. Gen. Eisenhower decided to run for president as a moderate Republican who supported the New Deal. Democrat Ronald Reagan, who later became a Republican, supported Eisenhower even though he had been a Truman supporter in 1948. Other Democrats backed Eisenhower as well. Truman lost the New Hampshire Primary to Senator Estes Kefauver. Afterwards, Truman withdrew from the 1952 race. He was the last president who could serve more than ten years in the White House.

felt that he had served two terms and it was time for a new leader to take over the presidency. Additionally, Truman faced numerous challenges and controversies during his presidency, including the ongoing Korean War and labor strikes, which may have contributed to his decision to step down. Finally, Truman's low approval ratings and the rising popularity of Republican candidate Dwight D. Eisenhower may have also influenced his choice not to seek re-election.
