Answer:
Johnson
Step-by-step explanation:
The 1968 US presidential election was held on November 5, 1968. Former Vice President Richard Nixon (Republican) won the election, by a narrow difference over Vice President Hubert Humphrey (Democrat).
In a turbulent context that included the murders of Martin Luther King, Jr. (civil rights leader) and Robert F. Kennedy (pre-Democratic candidate), as well as a high racial tension that escalated after King's crime. However, the main theme was the Vietnam War, whose popularity plummeted, giving way to clashes between police and protesters opposing the war, a situation that reached unsustainable levels within the framework of the 1968 National Democratic Convention.
Nixon conducted a campaign that promised to restore "public order." Some consider the 1968 election an election that broke with the so-called New Deal Coalition that had dominated presidential politics since 1932. It was also the last election in which the two candidates were vice presidents.
The election also included former Alabama governor George Wallace, who ran as a candidate for the new American Independent Party. Because Wallace's campaign promoted racial segregation, he proved to be a formidable candidate in the South; no "third party" candidate has won electoral votes since then.
