the Democratic Party won the presidency.

Explanation

The 1968 Democratic National Convention was marked by bitter divisions over the Vietnam War and violent clashes between police and protesters in Chicago. The crisis led many Americans to question whether political institutions could represent them fairly, so people lost faith in the political system. It did not cause the Democrats to win the presidency; Republican Richard Nixon won that year.
