Adlai Stevenson, not Estes Kefauver, and Stevenson had to be browbeaten into running into the Ike buzz saw again.

Kefauver was the VP candidate in 1956. IIRC, Adlai let the convention decide so it became a contest between Estes Kefauver and a first-term senator from Massachusetts, John F. Kennedy.

All I remember of the 1956 election is seeing "I like Ike" bumper stickers and my father telling me he liked Ike. I wasn't aware that there was another candidate running.
