In 1968, Hubert Humphrey entered the Democratic primaries as a candidate for the presidential nomination. However, he did not compete in any of the early primaries, as he was initially the sitting Vice President and relied on party establishment support. Instead, he focused on winning delegates through the Democratic National Convention. Ultimately, he secured the nomination despite significant opposition and unrest within the party.
Hubert Humphrey secured the Democratic nomination for president in 1968 through a combination of strong political connections and effective campaigning. He leveraged his experience as a former Vice President and a prominent figure in the civil rights movement to gain support from party leaders and activists. Despite initially facing challenges, including opposition from anti-war factions, he ultimately won the nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where he rallied delegates and capitalized on the party's need for unity amid a tumultuous political climate.
