- The Democratic Party's 1944 nomination for Vice President of the United States was determined at the 1944 Democratic National Convention, on July 21, 1944. U.S. Senator Harry S. Truman from Missouri was nominated to be President Franklin D. Roosevelt's running-mate in his bid to be re-elected for a fourth term. How the nomination went to Truman, who did not actively seek it, is, in the words of his biographer Robert H. Ferrell, "one of the great political stories of our century". The fundamental issue was that Roosevelt's health was seriously declining, and everyone who saw Roosevelt, including the leaders of the Democratic Party, realized it. If he died during his next term, the vice president would become president, making the vice presidential nomination very important. Truman's predecessor as vice president, the incumbent Henry A. Wallace, was unpopular with some of the leaders of the Democratic Party, who disliked his liberal politics and considered him unreliable and eccentric in general. Wallace was the popular candidate and favored by the Convention delegates. As the Convention began, Wallace had more than half the votes necessary to secure his re-nomination. By contrast, the Gallup poll said that 2% of those surveyed wanted then-Senator Truman to become the vice president. To overcome this initial deficit, the leaders of the Democratic Party worked to influence the Convention delegates, such that Truman received the nomination. (en)
- Nomineringen av demokraternas vicepresidentkandidat 1944 anordnades för att utse en ny vicepresidentkandidat för det Demokratiska partiet, inför presidentvalet senare samma år. Den sittande vicepresidenten, Henry Wallace, hade varit impopulär i delar av det demokratiska partiet – han ansågs vara för liberal och på andra sätt opålitlig – och hade därför blivit utmanövrerad. Den 21 juli 1944 utsågs senatorn Harry S. Truman till president Franklin D. Roosevelts vicepresidentkandidat. Berättelsen om hur Truman blev vald kallas av historikern Robert H. Ferrell för "en av de mest storslagna politiska berättelserna i vårt århundrade". (sv)
