I don't think Eisenhower would have been elected president.

1) he was the "hero of ww2", in this timeline, he would have been the failure.

2) he was the person to get us out of the Korean war and stop Truman's Korean policy. In this timeline there was no Korean War.

Adley Stevenson or Dewey would have been the more likely candidates.

also, by the time the actual D-Day invasion happened, Hilters airforce was still tied up with the Eastern front. Shifting such a huge amount of aircraft to the west would have crippled any hope for defense in the East. Besides, the Luftwaffe was desperate for fuel at this point and was hording every drop for the eastern front.

So a 1200 strong aircraft attack on the west is a really big stretch.
