Wendell Willkie was the Republican Party presidential nominee in 1940, not 1944. In 1944 (and in 1948), the Republican Party nominated New York Governor Thomas E. Dewey. Both Willkie and Dewey lost to the incumbent Democratic Presidents, Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940 and 1944 and Harry S. Truman in 1948.

Who was the Republican candidate in 1960?

Wendell Willkie, a relatively unknown businessman from Indiana. Willkie was a fairly moderate Republican on most issues, and criticized Roosevelt for failing to end the Depression. The impeding World War II was another big issue. Although not a hardline isolationist like some Republicans, Willkie believed Roosevelt was eager to participate in the conflcit. Roosevelt had lost some of his popularity since the Court Packing Plan issue in 1937 and his decision to break with tradition and seek a third term was controversial. However, with the combined support of traditional Democrats in the South, big cities and unions in the North and minority groups, Roosevelt's reelection was assured. Willkie conducted an energetic campaign and revived some Republican support in the Northwest and Northeast, carrying Iowa, the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Michigan and his home state of Indiana. He also carried Maine and Vermont, the only states to oppose Roosevelt in the previous election. Roosevelt won 54.7% of the vote and took the electoral college by a landslide.
