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.
