Question 6 • United States History and Geography

Which of these was an important reason that Richard Nixon won the presidency in 1968?

Answer
A
He had political views and strategies that were liberal.
B
He belonged to the same political party as Johnson.
C
He promised to end the Vietnam War.
D
He had served as Johnson’s vice president.

Explanation

Nixon campaigned in 1968 on bringing the Vietnam War to an end, promising “peace with honor.” That message appealed to voters who wanted the conflict resolved, helping him win the presidency. He was a Republican, not a member of Johnson’s party, and he had not served as Johnson’s vice president.
