The first Kennedy-Nixon debate, held on September 26, 1960, is widely regarded as a turning point in U.S. political history. John F. Kennedy's confident and charismatic performance contrasted sharply with Richard Nixon's more reserved demeanor, particularly as Nixon appeared tired and unwell. Television viewers generally favored Kennedy, believing he won the debate, while radio listeners had a more favorable view of Nixon. This debate significantly boosted Kennedy's campaign and helped shape public perception leading into the election.
