Answer
In the 1948 United States presidential election, Progressive Party candidate Henry A. Wallace received 2.4% of the popular vote, a significantly smaller percentage compared to the two major party candidates, Democrat Harry S. Truman and Republican Thomas E. Dewey. Wallace's campaign primarily focused on progressive policies, social justice, and opposition to the Cold War, but failed to gain widespread support amidst the intense competition between Truman and Dewey.
