His experience as a former Senate Majority Leader equipped him with an understanding of legislative processes and the importance of personal relationships. Additionally, the national sentiment following the assassination of President Kennedy created a climate of goodwill that Johnson capitalized on to push his Great Society agenda, which aimed to address issues like poverty, civil rights, and healthcare.
