Nixon’s win marked a pivot away from the era of social reform.
C
Nixon’s win indicated that the public supported the Vietnam War.
D
Nixon’s win suggested a turn away from conservative politics.

Explanation

Nixon’s 1968 victory signaled growing resistance to the social changes and reform movements associated with the 1960s. His campaign appealed to voters seeking “law and order” and a more conservative direction, so the win marked a pivot away from the era’s social reform. It does not necessarily show that the public supported the Vietnam War; the election was shaped by several major issues.
