The purpose of the Kennedy and Nixon debate, particularly the first televised presidential debate in 1960, was to present the candidates' policies and personalities directly to the American public. It aimed to inform voters about the candidates' positions on key issues, such as the Cold War and civil rights. The debate also highlighted the impact of television on politics, as Kennedy's confident and charismatic appearance contrasted with Nixon's more subdued demeanor, influencing public perception and ultimately the election outcome.
