They were held for the most part on November 2, 1948, while Maine held theirs on September 13. These elections coincided with President Harry S. Truman's election to a full term. Truman had campaigned against a "do-nothing"' Republican Party Congress that had opposed his initiatives and was seen as counterproductive. The Democratic Party regained control of both the House and Senate in this election.Statistics of the Presidential and Congressional Election of November 2, 1948 http://clerk.house.gov/member_info/electionInfo/1948election.pdf Clerk of the House of RepresentativesDemocratic House Appears Assured New York Times William S.
