∙ 11y agoThe Democratic incumbent President, Lyndon Johnson, withdrew from the race at the end of March, 1968. That was the only time since presidential term limits took effect in 1956 that an incumbent president could run for reelection but didn't. (Because the 22nd Amendment was ratified during Harry Truman's second term, it did not affect him in 1952; he chose not to run anyway.)
Robert F. Kennedy, who was likely to become the Democratic Presidential Nominee (and the 37th President) was assassinated in June, 1968.
The Election of 1968 was the most recent U.S. presidential election in which three candidates each received more than one electoral vote.
1968 U.S. Presidential Election Results:
