Answer 2

It undermined the popularity of President Truman and helped Dwight Eisenhower win the presidential election of 1952.

Step-by-step explanation:

When communist North Korea invaded South Korea in 1950, Truman immediately sent US troops and got UN support to start the Korean War. After an initial success, UN forces were repelled by a Chinese intervention and the conflict stalled during the last years of his presidency.

Accusations of corruption in his administration, which was linked to some members of his White House cabinet, was the main point of contention in the 1952 presidential election, in which Adams Stevenson II, Truman's successor as Democrat candidate, was defeated by Dwight D Eisenhower.
