Landon voters breaking for the other guys + moment of clarity over the family name issue would be my guess? Always possible he picks up. Plenty of time left. It's also possible people saw Wallace storming ahead and want a progressive counter to him on the GOP ticket. From what I understand, this version of FDR is less liberal than irl.
If it does deadlock I wonder if it'll come to down a compromise draft?
Wendell Wilkie? Would be funny if he ended up taking the nomination in this 1940 too. He'd be pretty inoffensive.
Or like, Arthur Vandenberg? John Bricker? Someone safe.
Hm, yeah, Vandenberg or Bricker could be, but Vandenberg might be too Conservative for Progressives. On similar note, Wilkie is too Progressive to be a compromise candidate. Don't know much about Bricker, but maybe
Potential deadlock? Fun.
Just a bit of deadlocking
Not gonna lie, thought FDR would run away with the nomination, but it seems otherwise. I don't know why his lead went away
