Answer:
McCarthyism helped Republicans in the 1952 presidential election by making the Republican Party look like that capable of overthrowing the communist threat in the United States, as Joseph McCarthy was a Republican senator.
Explanation:
The forty-second presidential election of the United States was held on Tuesday, November 4, 1952. The Republican candidate, Dwight D. Eisenhower, won a clear victory, ending twenty years of predominance of the Democratic Party; also, the Republicans managed to control by a narrow margin the Congress of the United States. In this period, the tension between the country and the Soviet Union in the context of the Cold War was high; at the same time, McCarthyism was in vogue, fueled by the widespread fear of communism among Americans. Foreign policy was a major factor in the race to achieve the Republican nomination. The country was polarized by the Korean War, which was stagnant, and corruption and fear of Communist infiltration within the federal government was also a relevant issue. The economic and social issues did not have much relevance, because the economic situation was prosperous.
