What if, FDR kept Wallace as his running mate in the 1944 Election. How would the Democrats react and would FDR still win in 1944?

Wallace became rapidly anti-Soviet after Korea, and endorsed Nixon in 1960.Many Democrats would be very unhappy since Wallace was perceived as very fringe and pro-Soviet. However, FDR still wins in 1944 since no one would vote out a popular wartime President. The Cold War might be delayed by a few years, since Wallace wouldn't try to place demands on the USSR that Stalin would not agree with (such as allowing free elections in Eastern Europe).
