During his administration, President Lyndon B. Johnson faced significant challenges that hindered his success, particularly the Vietnam War, which escalated and caused widespread dissent and division within the country. His ambitious Great Society programs, aimed at combating poverty and racial injustice, were overshadowed by the war's costs and the resulting budgetary constraints. Additionally, rising inflation and social unrest further complicated his efforts, leading to a decline in public support and political capital by the end of his presidency.
