United States elections, 1968

The 1968 United States general election was held on November 5, and elected members of the 91st United States Congress. The election took place during the Vietnam War, in the same year as the Tet Offensive, the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the protests of 1968. The Republican Party won control of the presidency and picked up seats in the House and Senate, although the Democratic Party retained control of Congress.
In the presidential election, former Vice President Richard Nixon was elected to serve as the 37th President of the United States, defeating the Democratic Vice President Hubert Humphrey.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.upi.com/Audio/Year_in_Review/Events-of-1968/1968-Presidential-Election/12303153093431-2/ )〕 Nixon won the popular vote by less than one point, but took most states outside of the Northeast and comfortably won the electoral vote. Alabama Governor George Wallace of the American Independent Party took 13.5% of the popular vote and won the electoral votes of the Deep South. After incumbent Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson declined to seek re-election, Humphrey won the Democratic nomination over Minnesota Senator Eugene McCarthy and South Dakota Senator George McGovern at the tumultuous 1968 Democratic National Convention. Nixon won the Republican nomination over New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller and California Governor Ronald Reagan. As of 2015, Wallace is the most recent third party candidate to win a state, while Nixon is the only non-sitting vice president to win election as president.
In the House, Republicans picked up five seats, while in the Senate, the Republican Party won a net gain of five seats. However, the Democratic Party retained strong majorities in both houses of Congress.
In the gubernatorial elections, the Republican Party picked up a net gain of five seats.
