The 1948 United States presidential election in Maryland took place on November 2, 1948, as part of the 1948 United States presidential election. State voters chose eight [2] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Maryland was won by Governor Thomas Dewey (R–New York), running with Governor Earl Warren, with 49.40% of the popular vote, against incumbent President Harry S. Truman (D–Missouri), running with Senator Alben W. Barkley, with 48.01% of the popular vote. [3] [4] This was the first of three times between 1888 and 2000 that Maryland's popular vote had backed a losing candidate nationwide (along with 1968 and 1980).
As of 2020, this is the last time that a Democratic candidate has won the presidency without carrying Maryland and the only time that the state has backed a losing Republican candidate. [5] As of 2020, this remains the last of only 2 occasions in which Maryland was more Republican than the nation (the other occasion being 1896). [6]
