Short answer yes, technical answer no.

The USA never declared war on North Vietnam, despite fighting there for nearly 10 years.

The Vietnam 'war' was started by Kennedy, escalated significantly under Johnson and was still underway when Nixon was elected so Nixon was elected during the Vietnam War. Nixon also successfully ended the Vietnam war on terms which were above and beyond those offered by his political counterparts who werewilling to withdraw unconditionally.
