The Democrats lost control of the House but kept control of the Senate.
Solution
The correct statements that describe the 1944 election are:
-
Roosevelt replaced his vice president with a new candidate. In this election, Roosevelt chose Harry S. Truman as his running mate, replacing Henry A. Wallace.
-
The Democrats maintained control of both houses of Congress. In the 1944 election, the Democrats maintained their majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
-
The campaign focused on the U.S. war effort. The 1944 election took place during World War II, so the war effort was a major focus of the campaign.
-
Roosevelt won the popular vote and the Electoral College. Roosevelt won his fourth term in office by winning both the popular vote and the Electoral College.
The other statements are incorrect. The campaign did not focus primarily on domestic economic issues (1), Roosevelt did not lose the popular vote (2), he did not keep his long-time vice president on the ticket (4), and the Democrats did not lose control of the House (8).
