Original – On November 4, 1948, President Harry S. Truman holds a copy of the Chicago Daily Tribune with the headline "Dewey Defeats Truman." Despite his expected loss to Thomas E. Dewey in the 1948 United States presidential election, Truman won, and the Tribune had already printed their headline anticipating Truman would lose.
