Answer:

He would not run for another term as president

Step-by-step explanation:

On March 1968, President Johnson announced on TV to all America that he would not run for another term as president. He announced the following: “I do not believe that I should devote an hour or a day of my time to any personal partisan causes or to any duties other than the awesome duties of this office — the presidency of this country,”

His announcement was seen as a personal sacrifice in the name of national unity, his approval rate went up to 57 %.
