Reel America: LBJ Announcement & Nixon in New Hampshire – 1968
In a televised speech from the Oval Office on March 31, 1968, President Lyndon Baines Johnson surprised the nation and many of his own staff by announcing that he would not run for re-election that year. We'll show his address, which also outlines steps to limit the war in Vietnam. Then, a "Nixon for President" campaign film shows the former vice president meeting voters in New Hampshire and Wisconsin. Mr. Nixon would go on to win primaries in both of those states on his way to securing the GOP nomination.
