rdfs:comment | - However, he opposed many of the sweeping anti-segregation laws passed in the 1930's and 40's and ran as a favorite son of the South in 1952, winning a narrow election due to his acquiescence on many economically liberal policies favored by northern Democrats. He is often known as the "last of the Southern Democrats," and due to his Presidential opposition of civil rights legislation during the tumultuous 1950's, was defeated by a liberal insurgency within the Democratic Party and was not nominated for a second term in the 1956 election, with the Northern Democrats choosing instead the centrist Thomas Sullivan as their preferred champion.

Russell was the only President who was a bachelor, never having married, although he introduced his girlfriend Veronica Kittany as his "companion" and jokingly as the "First Ladyfriend."
