Selection of the Democratic Party nominee
1952 Democratic Party presidential primaries
From March 11 to June 3, 1952, voters and members of the Democratic Party elected delegates to the 1952 Democratic National Convention, partly for the purpose of choosing a nominee for president in the 1952 United States presidential election. Incumbent President Harry S. Truman withdrew his candidacy for re-election after losing the New Hampshire primary to Senator Estes Kefauver of Tennessee. Kefauver proceeded to win a majority of the popular vote, but failed to secure a majority of delegates, most of whom were selected through other means. The 1952 Democratic National Convention, held from July 21 to July 26, 1952, in Chicago, was forced to go multiballot. The nomination went to Adlai Stevenson II, the governor of Illinois, and grandson of the former Vice President Adlai Stevenson I.
