For this thread, Mao doesn't come to power in 1949 in China*.

What I want the focus of this thread to be is, How does this affect US politics?What differences do we see compared to the Red Scare OTL? How is Truman's second term different?

I have the idea that TTL, Kefauver gets the nomination in 1952 -- could he win? If so, what would his presidency be like?

What other implications are there? Does this affect how the US fights the Cold War, and what are the impacts there?

*TTL, he was dealt with back in 1934, but that's another thread -- I just ask that we work on the assumption that butterflies don't reach the US until 1949. and that concerns regarding the premise are taken to linked thread.
