The election of 1968 featured Hubert Humphrey from the Democratic Party running against Richard Nixon from the Republican Party. President Johnson, who was eligible to run again, chose not to do so because the Vietnam War was very unpopular with the American people and wasn’t going well for the United States. Johnson said he wanted to devote his full attention to the conflict, and campaigning for reelection would have made that hard to do. Nixon won the election with 301 electoral votes to Humphrey’s 191 electoral votes. An independent candidate, George Wallace, received 46 electoral votes. Nixon had over 800,000 more popular votes than Hubert Humphrey. After Nixon became President, he announced his Vietnamization plan, which was a plan to get the United States out of the Vietnam War by gradually turning over the fighting to the South Vietnamese.
