Answer:
was a narrow victory for Kennedy.
Explanation:
The presidential election of 1960 in the United States was contested between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. In that election, Kennedy had a narrow win, with him securing 303 electoral votes compared to Nixon's 219. He also won the national popular vote by 112,827 votes, and this was a slim margin of 0.17%. The proliferation of unpledged electors has led many to argue that Richard Nixon was supposed to win the national popular vote. He also contested that election with Lyndon B. Johnson who was a senate majority leader.
The fact that he campaigned in the populous states and used good campaign media like the television helped him to reach out to a larger number of voters. He was later assassinated in 1963.
