Nixon Legacy Forum: The Greatest Comeback: Richard Nixon and the 1968 Election
William G. McGowan Theater
Washington, DC
听
President Dwight Eisenhower鈥檚 Vice President, Richard Nixon, lost the 1960 Presidential election to John Kennedy and then the California Governorship to Edmund 鈥淧at鈥� Brown in 1962.听At a dramatic post-election press conference, he announced his complete withdrawal from politics, but he couldn鈥檛 stay away. He campaigned tirelessly for the 1964 GOP nominee, Barry Goldwater, as well as for dozens of Republican candidates in the 1966 mid-term elections.听His subsequent winning of the Republican nomination in the 1968 is the stuff of legends. This Nixon Legacy Panel will re-tell the story of Richard Nixon鈥檚 comeback and his historic 1968 election victory. Panelists will include Pat Buchanan, Dwight Chapin, Annelise Anderson, and Ken Khachigian. 听Presented in partnership with the Richard Nixon Foundation.
