How did President Harry Truman embarrass the Republican Party in 1948?
Democratic President Harry Truman called special sessions of Congress during the 1948 Presidential election year to embarrass the Republicans into completing domestic legislation. This served a two-fold purpose: It forced Congress to pass bills the President supported, and it struck a strategic blow at the opposing party.Truman's gruff, straightforward, take-no-prisoners style earned him the nickname, "Give 'em Hell Harry." Truman, in turn, nicknamed the 1947-1948 US Senate and House the "Do-Nothing 80th Congress."President Truman won the 1948 election against Thomas Dewey despite starting the year with a 36% approval rating among voters. The Chicago Tribune was so certain of Truman's defeat that it printed the post-election day newspapers early. The headline read: "Dewey Defeats Truman!"
