"GOP '66: Back on the Map", November 21, 1966

1966-11-21

1960-1969

Magazine article discussing how the 1966 midterm elections were a major victory for the Republican Party, which gained 47 seats in the House of Representatives, three seats in the Senate, and eight governorships. The GOP's success was attributed to a number of factors, including discontent with the Johnson administration's handling of the Vietnam War, inflation, and the backlash against civil rights legislation. The election results also set the stage for the 1968 presidential election, in which the Republicans were expected to be a strong contender. 14 pages.
