The '''1964 United States presidential election''' was the 45th quadrennial [[United States presidential election|presidential election]]. It was held on Tuesday, November 3, 1964. Incumbent [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] President [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] defeated Senator [[Barry Goldwater]], the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] nominee, in a [[Landslide victory|landslide]]. Johnson was the fourth and most recent vice-president to ascend to the presidency following the death of his predecessor and to win a full term in his own right. With 61.1% of the popular vote, Lyndon B. Johnson won the [[List of United States presidential elections by popular vote margin|largest share]] of the popular vote for the Democratic Party in history, and the highest for any candidate since the advent of widespread popular elections in the 1820s.

Johnson took office on November 22, 1963, and emphasized the continuation of his assassinated predecessor, [[John F. Kennedy]]. He easily defeated a [[Democratic Party presidential primaries, 1964|primary challenge]] by Governor [[George Wallace]] of Alabama, to win the nomination to a full term. At the [[1964 Democratic National Convention]], Johnson selected Senator [[Hubert Humphrey]] of Minnesota as his running mate. In the Republican contest Senator [[Barry Goldwater]] of [[Arizona]], a leader of his party's [[conservativism in the United States|conservative]] faction, defeated [[Rockefeller Republican|liberal]] Governor [[Nelson Rockefeller]] of New York and Governor [[William Scranton]] of Pennsylvania.


==History==
Johnson championed his passage of the [[Civil Rights Act of 1964|Civil Rights Act]], and advocated a series of anti-poverty programs collectively known as the [[Great Society]]. Goldwater espoused a low-tax, small-government philosophy. Although he supported previous attempts at enacting civil rights legislation in 1957 and 1960, Goldwater opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, saying it violated individual liberty and [[states' rights]]. Democrats successfully portrayed Goldwater as a dangerous extremist, most famously in the "[[Daisy (advertisement)|Daisy]]" [[Campaign advertising|television advertisement]]. The Republicans were divided between its moderate and conservative factions, with Rockefeller and other moderate party leaders refusing to campaign for Goldwater. Johnson led by wide margins in all polls during the campaign.


[[File:Ben Shapiro (42864830152) cropped.jpg|thumb|[[Ben Shapiro]], co-founder of ''The Daily Wire''|left]]
Johnson carried 44 states and the [[District of Columbia]], which [[Twenty-third Amendment to the United States Constitution|voted for the first time]] in this election. Goldwater won his home state and swept the five states of the [[Deep South]], due to the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]]'s strong support of [[Civil rights movement#Civil Rights Act of 1964|civil rights]] and desegregation. Several southern states had not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since the end of [[Reconstruction Era|Reconstruction]] in 1877. This was the last election in which the Democratic Party won a majority of the white vote, with [[1964 United States Presidential Election#Results#Voter demographics|59% of white voters]] shunning Goldwater for Johnson. This was the last election in which the Democratic nominee carried [[Idaho]], [[Utah]], [[Wyoming]], [[North Dakota]], [[South Dakota]], [[Nebraska]],{{efn|Two Democrats ([[Barack Obama]] in 2008 and [[Joe Biden]] in 2020) have since won an electoral vote from [[Nebraska's 2nd congressional district|Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District]], however Johnson remains the last Democrat to carry the state as a whole}} [[Kansas]], or [[Oklahoma]], and the only election ever in which the Democrat carried [[Alaska]]. This marked the first presidential election in history in which a Democrat carried [[Vermont]], and conversely, the first in which a Republican carried [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]]. This was also the last election until 1992 in which the Democrat carried [[California]], [[Colorado]], [[Illinois]], [[Montana]], [[Nevada]], [[New Mexico]], [[New Jersey]], [[New Hampshire]], or Vermont, as well as the last election until 2008 in which the Democrat carried [[Virginia]] or [[Indiana]]. As such, this was the most recent presidential election in which the entire [[Midwestern United States|Midwestern]] region voted Democratic. As of 2023, this marks the last time that a Democratic presidential candidate has won more than 400 electoral votes.

Johnson's landslide victory coincided with [[1964 United States elections|the defeat]] of many conservative Republican congressmen. The subsequent [[89th United States Congress|89th Congress]] would pass major legislation such as the [[Social Security Amendments of 1965]] and the [[Voting Rights Act of 1965]]. The 1964 election marked the beginning of a major, long-term re-alignment in American politics, as Goldwater's unsuccessful bid significantly influenced the [[Conservatism in the United States|modern conservative movement]]. The movement of conservatives to the Republican Party continued, culminating in the [[1980 United States presidential election|1980 presidential victory]] of [[Ronald Reagan]].

In January 2023, conservative commentator [[Steven Crowder]] revealed on his Youtube channel that he had received a term sheet from an unnamed conservative media company (later revealed to be ''The Daily Wire'') that included a provision that, if he were to be demonetized or removed from platforms such as YouTube, Facebook or the iTunes Store, his salary would be cut substantially during that period.

At the national convention, the integrated [[Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party]] (MFDP) claimed the seats for delegates for Mississippi, not on the grounds of Party rules, but because the official Mississippi delegation had been elected by a [[White primaries|white primary]] system. The national party's liberal leaders supported an even division of the seats between the two Mississippi delegations; Johnson was concerned that, while the regular Democrats of Mississippi would probably vote for Goldwater anyway, rejecting them would lose him the South. Eventually, [[Hubert Humphrey]], [[Walter Reuther]], and the black civil rights leaders, including [[Roy Wilkins]], [[Martin Luther King Jr.]], and [[Bayard Rustin]], worked out a compromise: The MFDP took two seats; the regular Mississippi delegation was required to pledge to support the party ticket; and no future Democratic convention would accept a delegation chosen by a discriminatory poll. [[Joseph L. Rauh Jr.]], the MFDP's lawyer, initially refused this deal, but they eventually took their seats. Many white delegates from Mississippi and Alabama refused to sign any pledge, and left the convention; and many young civil rights workers were offended by any compromise.<ref>Unger and Unger; ''LBJ; a Life'' (1999) pp. 325–326; Dallek ''Flawed Giant'', p. 164.</ref> Johnson biographers Rowland Evans and Robert Novak claim that the MFDP fell under the influence of "black radicals" and rejected their seats.<ref>Evans and Novak (1966) pp. 451–456.</ref> Johnson lost [[Louisiana]], [[Alabama]], [[Mississippi]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], and [[South Carolina]].

Johnson also faced trouble from [[Robert F. Kennedy]], President Kennedy's younger brother and the [[United States Attorney General|U.S. Attorney General]]. Kennedy and Johnson's relationship was troubled from the time Robert Kennedy was a Senate staffer. Then-Majority Leader Johnson surmised that Kennedy's hostility was the direct result of the fact that Johnson frequently recounted a story that embarrassed Kennedy's father, [[Joseph P. Kennedy]], the ambassador to the United Kingdom. According to his recounting, Johnson and President [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] misled the ambassador, upon a return visit to the United States, to believe that Roosevelt wished to meet in Washington for friendly purposes; in fact, Roosevelt planned to — and did — fire the ambassador, due to the ambassador's well publicized views.<ref>[[Robert A. Caro]]; "[[The Years of Lyndon Johnson: The Passage of Power]]" (2012), ch. 3 ("It's about Roosevelt and his father", Johnson said).</ref> The Johnson–Kennedy hostility was rendered mutual in the 1960 primaries and the [[1960 Democratic National Convention]], when Robert Kennedy had tried to prevent Johnson from becoming his brother's running mate, a move that deeply embittered both men.


==Podcasts and radio==
In early 1964, despite his personal animosity for the president, Kennedy had tried to force Johnson to accept him as his running mate. Johnson eliminated this threat by announcing that none of his cabinet members would be considered for second place on the Democratic ticket. Johnson also became concerned that Kennedy might use his scheduled speech at the 1964 Democratic Convention to create a groundswell of emotion among the delegates to make him Johnson's running mate; he prevented this by deliberately scheduling Kennedy's speech on the last day of the convention, after his running mate had already been chosen. Shortly after the 1964 Democratic Convention, Kennedy decided to leave Johnson's cabinet and run for the U.S. Senate in [[New York (state)|New York]]; he won the general election in November. Johnson chose [[United States Senate|United States Senator]] [[Hubert Humphrey]] from [[Minnesota]], a liberal and civil rights activist, as his running mate.

Technically, in South Dakota and Florida, Goldwater finished in second to "Unpledged Delegates", but he finished before all other candidates.]]
The Republican Party (GOP) was badly divided in 1964 between its [[Conservatism in the United States|conservative]] and [[Rockefeller Republican|moderate-liberal]] factions. Former vice president [[Richard Nixon]], who had been beaten by Kennedy in the extremely close 1960 presidential election, decided not to run. Nixon, a moderate with ties to both wings of the GOP, had been able to unite the factions in 1960; in his absence, the way was clear for the two factions to engage in a hard-fought campaign for the nomination. Barry Goldwater, a [[United States Senate|Senator]] from [[Arizona]], was the champion of the [[Conservatism in the United States|conservatives]]. The conservatives had historically been based in the American [[Midwest]], but beginning in the 1950s, they had been gaining in power in the South and West, and the core of Goldwater's support came from suburban conservative Republicans. The conservatives favored a low-tax, small federal government which supported individual rights and business interests, and opposed [[social welfare]] programs. They also supported an internationalist and interventionist foreign policy. The conservatives resented the dominance of the GOP's [[moderate]] wing, which was based in the [[Northeastern United States]]. Since 1940, the Eastern moderates had defeated conservative presidential candidates at the GOP's national conventions. The conservatives believed the Eastern Republicans were little different from liberal Democrats in their philosophy and approach to government. Goldwater's chief opponent for the Republican nomination was [[Nelson Rockefeller]], the [[Governor of New York]] and the long-time leader of the GOP's liberal faction.


===Current personalities===
In 1961, a group of twenty-two conservatives, headed by Ohio Representative [[John M. Ashbrook]], lawyer and [[National Review]] publisher [[William A. Rusher]], and scholar [[F. Clifton White]], met privately in Chicago to discuss the formation of a grass-roots organization to secure the nomination of a conservative as the 1964 Republican candidate. The main headquarters for the organization were established at Suite 3505 of the Chanin Building in New York City, leading members to refer to themselves as the "Suite 3505 Committee". Following the [[1962 United States elections|1962 mid-term elections]], they formally backed Goldwater, who notified them that he did not want to run for the presidency. In April 1963, they formed the [[Draft Goldwater Committee]], chaired by Texas Republican Party Chairman [[Peter O'Donnell (businessman)|Peter O'Donnell]]. The committee solidified growing conservative strength in the West and South, and began working to gain control of state parties in the Midwest from liberal Republicans. Throughout the rest of the year, speculation about a potential Goldwater candidacy grew, and grass-roots activism and efforts among conservative Republicans expanded.

Initially, Rockefeller was considered the front-runner, ahead of Goldwater. However, in 1963, two years after Rockefeller's divorce from his first wife, he married [[Happy Rockefeller|Margaretta "Happy" Murphy]], who was nearly 18 years younger than he and had just divorced her husband and surrendered her four children to his custody.<ref name="'70s 58">{{cite book|title= How We Got Here: The '70s|last= Frum|first= David|author-link= David Frum|year= 2000|publisher= Basic Books|location= New York|isbn= 0-465-04195-7|pages= [https://archive.org/details/howwegothere70sd00frum/page/58 58–59]|url= https://archive.org/details/howwegothere70sd00frum/page/58|url-access= registration}}</ref> The fact that Murphy had suddenly divorced her husband before marrying Rockefeller led to rumors that Rockefeller had been having an extra-marital affair with her. This angered many [[social conservatives]] and female voters within the GOP, many of whom called Rockefeller a "wife stealer".<ref name="'70s 58" /> After his remarriage, Rockefeller's lead among Republicans lost 20 points overnight.<ref name="'70s 58" /> Senator [[Prescott Bush]] of [[Connecticut]], the father of President [[George H. W. Bush]] and grandfather of President [[George W. Bush]], was among Rockefeller's critics on this issue: "Have we come to the point in our life as a nation where the governor of a great state — one who perhaps aspires to the nomination for president of the United States — can desert a good wife, mother of his grown children, divorce her, then persuade a young mother of four youngsters to abandon her husband and their four children and marry the governor?"<ref name="'70s 58" />

In the first primary, in New Hampshire, both Rockefeller and Goldwater were considered to be the favorites, but the voters instead gave a surprising victory to the U.S. [[ambassador]] to [[South Vietnam]], [[Henry Cabot Lodge Jr.]], Nixon's running mate in [[1960 United States presidential election|1960]] and a former [[Massachusetts]] [[United States Senate|senator]]. Lodge was a [[write-in candidate]]. He went on to win the [[Massachusetts]] and [[New Jersey]] primaries, before withdrawing his candidacy because he had finally decided he did not want the Republican nomination.<ref>Johnson, Robert David, ''All the Way with LBJ'', p. 111. {{ISBN|9780521425957}}</ref>

Despite his defeat in New Hampshire, Goldwater pressed on, winning the [[Illinois]], [[Texas]], and [[Indiana]] primaries, with little opposition, and [[Nebraska]]'s primary, after a stiff challenge from a [[Draft (politics)|draft]]-Nixon movement. Goldwater also won a number of state [[caucuses]], and gathered even more delegates. Meanwhile, [[Nelson Rockefeller]] won the [[West Virginia]] and [[Oregon]] primaries against Goldwater, and [[William Scranton]] won in his home state of [[Pennsylvania]]. Both Rockefeller and Scranton also won several state [[caucuses]], mostly in the Northeast.

The final showdown between Goldwater and Rockefeller was in the [[California]] primary. In spite of the previous accusations regarding his marriage, Rockefeller led Goldwater in most opinion polls in California, and he appeared headed for victory when his new wife gave birth to a son, Nelson Rockefeller Jr., three days before the primary.<ref name="'70s 58" /> His son's birth brought the issue of [[adultery]] front and center, and Rockefeller suddenly lost ground in the polls. Combined with Goldwater conservatives' expanded dedicated efforts and superior organizing,<ref name="'70s 58" /> Goldwater won the primary by a narrow 51–48% margin, thus eliminating Rockefeller as a serious contender and all but clinching the nomination. With Rockefeller's elimination, the party's moderates and liberals turned to [[William Scranton]], the [[Governor of Pennsylvania]], in the hopes that he could stop Goldwater. However, as the Republican Convention began, Goldwater was seen as the heavy favorite to win the nomination. This was notable, as it signified a shift to a more conservative-leaning Republican Party.

==== Convention ====
The [[1964 Republican National Convention]], July 13–16 at [[Daly City, California]]'s [[Cow Palace]] arena, was one of the most bitter{{clarify|date=September 2023}} on record.{{citation needed|date=September 2023}}{{when|date=September 2023}} The party's moderates and conservatives openly expressed their contempt for each other. Rockefeller was loudly booed when he came to the podium for his speech; in his speech, he roundly criticized the party's conservatives, which led many conservatives in the galleries to yell and scream at him. A group of moderates tried to rally behind Scranton to stop Goldwater, but Goldwater's forces easily brushed his challenge aside,{{citation needed|date=September 2023}} and Goldwater was nominated on the first ballot. The presidential tally was as follows:

*[[Henry Cabot Lodge Jr.]] 2

The vice-presidential nomination went to little-known Republican Party Chairman [[William E. Miller]], a [[United States House of Representatives|Representative]] from western [[New York (state)|New York]]. Goldwater stated that he chose Miller simply because "he drives [President] Johnson nuts". This would be the only Republican ticket between 1948 and 1976 that did not include Nixon.

In accepting his nomination, Goldwater uttered his most famous phrase (a quote from [[Cicero]] suggested by speechwriter [[Harry V. Jaffa|Harry Jaffa]]): "I would remind you that [[extremism]] in the defense of [[liberty]] is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of [[justice]] is no virtue."<ref>{{cite web |title=News Analysis; The Extremism Issue; Aides Say Goldwater Sought to Extol Patriotism and Defend His Party Stand |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1964/07/23/archives/news-analysis-the-extremism-issue-aides-say-goldwater-sought-to.html |website=[[The New York Times]] |access-date=February 3, 2021 |date=July 23, 1964}}</ref> For many GOP moderates, Goldwater's speech was seen as a deliberate insult,{{citation needed|date=September 2023}} and many of these moderates would defect to the Democrats in the fall election.

Although Goldwater had been successful in rallying conservatives, he was unable to broaden his base of support for the [[general election]]. Shortly before the Republican Convention, he had alienated moderate and liberal Republicans by his vote against the [[Civil Rights Act of 1964]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://finduslaw.com/civil_rights_act_of_1964_cra_title_vii_equal_employment_opportunities_42_us_code_chapter_21 |title=Civil Rights Act of 1964 – CRA – Title VII – Equal Employment Opportunities – 42 US Code Chapter 21 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100125033337/http://finduslaw.com/civil_rights_act_of_1964_cra_title_vii_equal_employment_opportunities_42_us_code_chapter_21 |archive-date=January 25, 2010 }}</ref>{{Failed verification|date=September 2023}}{{Original research inline|date=September 2023}} which Johnson supported following Kennedy's death and signed into law. While a staunch supporter of racial equality, having voted in favor of the 1957 and 1960 Civil Rights acts bills and the 24th Amendment to the Constitution, Goldwater felt that [[Desegregation in the United States|desegregation]] was primarily a states' rights issue, rather than a national policy, and believed the 1964 act to be unconstitutional. Goldwater's vote against the legislation helped cause African-Americans to overwhelmingly support Johnson.<ref name="wapoobit">{{cite news |last=Barnes |first=Bart |date=May 30, 1998 |title=Barry Goldwater, GOP Hero, Dies |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/daily/may98/goldwater30.htm |newspaper=The Washington Post |access-date=November 6, 2016 }}</ref> Goldwater had previously voted in favor of the [[Civil Rights Act of 1957|1957]] and [[Civil Rights Act of 1960|1960 Civil Rights acts]], but only after proposing "restrictive amendments" to them.<ref name="wapoobit"/> Goldwater was famous for speaking "off-the-cuff" at times, and many of his former statements were given wide publicity by the Democrats. In the early 1960s, Goldwater had called the [[Presidency of Dwight Eisenhower|Eisenhower administration]] "a [[five and dime|dime store]] [[New Deal]]", and the former president never fully forgave him or offered him his full support in the election.{{Citation needed|date=September 2023}}

In December 1961, he told a [[news conference]] that "sometimes, I think this country would be better off if we could just saw off the [[East Coast of the United States|Eastern Seaboard]] and let it float out to sea", a remark which indicated his dislike of the liberal economic and social policies that were often associated with that part of the nation. That comment came back to hurt him, in the form of a Johnson [[television commercial]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.livingroomcandidate.org/commercials/1964/eastern-seabord|title=The Living Room Candidate – Commercials – 1964 – Eastern Seabord}}</ref> as did remarks about making [[Social Security (United States)|Social Security]] voluntary (something that even his running mate Miller felt would lead to the destruction of the system)<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.livingroomcandidate.org/commercials/1964/social-security|title=The Living Room Candidate – Commercials – 1964 – Social Security}}</ref> and selling the [[Tennessee Valley Authority]]. In his most famous verbal gaffe, Goldwater once joked that the U.S. military should "lob one [a nuclear bomb] into the men's room of the [[Moscow Kremlin|Kremlin]]" in the [[Soviet Union]].

Goldwater was also hurt by the reluctance of many prominent moderate Republicans to support him. Governors [[Nelson Rockefeller]] of New York and [[George W. Romney]] of Michigan refused to endorse Goldwater due to his stance on civil rights and his proposal to make Social Security voluntary, and did not campaign for him. On the other hand, former Vice President [[Richard Nixon]] and Governor William Scranton of Pennsylvania loyally supported the GOP ticket and campaigned for Goldwater, although Nixon did not entirely agree with Goldwater's political stances and said that it would "be a tragedy" if Goldwater's platform were not "challenged and repudiated" by the Republicans. Scranton also felt that Goldwater's proposal of voluntarizing Social Security was the "worst kind of fiscal responsibility".<ref>[[Conrad Black|Black, Conrad]] (2007), p. 464.</ref> The ''[[New York Herald-Tribune]]'', a voice for eastern Republicans (and a target for Goldwater activists during the primaries), supported Johnson in the general election. Some moderates even formed a "Republicans for Johnson" organization, although most prominent GOP politicians avoided being associated with it.<ref>Nation: The Social Security Argument, Time, October 23, 1964</ref>

Shortly before the Republican convention, [[CBS]] reporter [[Daniel Schorr]] wrote from [[Germany]] that, "It looks as though Senator Goldwater, if nominated, will be starting his campaign here in [[Bavaria]], center of Germany's right wing". He noted that a prior Goldwater interview with the German magazine ''[[Der Spiegel]]'' was an "appeal to right-wing elements". However, there was no ulterior motive for the trip; it was just a vacation.<ref>{{cite book |last=Perlstein |first=Rick |date=2009 |title=Before the Storm: Barry Goldwater and the Unmaking of the American Consensus |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DG3BE0C0VkAC&q=It+looks+as+though+Senator+Goldwater,+if+nominated,+will+be+starting+his+campaign+here+in+Bavaria,+center+of+Germany%E2%80%99s+right+wing&pg=PA375 |location=New York |publisher=Nation Books |page=375 |isbn=978-1568584126 |author-link=Rick Perlstein}}</ref>

''[[Fact (U.S. magazine)|Fact]]'' magazine published an article polling psychiatrists around the country as to Goldwater's sanity. Some 1,189 psychiatrists appeared to agree that Goldwater was "emotionally unstable" and unfit for office, though none of the members had actually interviewed him. The article received heavy publicity and resulted in a change to the ethics guidelines of the [[American Psychiatric Association]], now known as the [[Goldwater rule]]. In a [[libel]] suit, a federal court awarded Goldwater $1 in compensatory damages, and $75,000 in punitive damages.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/30/books/review/30gillespie.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=goldwater%20psychiatrists%201964&st=cse |title=The Hard Right|author=Nick Gillespie | author-link = Nick Gillespie |date=July 30, 2006 |work= New York Times}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2004/06/29/health/essay-the-perils-of-putting-national-leaders-on-the-couch.html?scp=3&sq=goldwater%20psychiatrists%201964&st=cse |title=Essay; The Perils of Putting National Leaders on the Couch |author=Sally Satel| author-link = Sally Satel|date=June 30, 2004 |work= New York Times}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=FB0A11F8345415738DDDAC0894D1405B858AF1D3&scp=6&sq=goldwater%20psychiatrists%201964&st=cse|title='64 Poll of Psychiatrists On Goldwater Defended|work=The New York Times |date=September 5, 1965}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1968/05/16/archives/expert-condemns-goldwater-poll-tells-libel-trial-magazine-survey.html?sq=goldwater%2520psychiatrists%25201964&scp=14&st=cse|title=EXPERT CONDEMNS GOLDWATER POLL – Tells Libel Trial Magazine Survey Was 'Loaded'|work=The New York Times |date=May 16, 1968}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1968/05/25/archives/goldwater-awarded-75000-in-damages-in-his-suit-for-libel-goldwater.html?sq=goldwater%2520psychiatrists%25201964&scp=34&st=cse|title=Goldwater Awarded $75,000 in Damages In His Suit for Libel |page=1|newspaper=The New York Times|date=May 25, 1968}}</ref>

Eisenhower's strong backing could have been an asset to the Goldwater campaign, but instead, its absence was clearly noticed. When questioned about the presidential capabilities of the former president's younger brother, university administrator [[Milton S. Eisenhower]], in July 1964, Goldwater replied: "One Eisenhower in a generation is enough." However, Eisenhower did not openly repudiate Goldwater, and made one television commercial for Goldwater's campaign.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.livingroomcandidate.org/commercials/1964/ike-at-gettysburg|title=The Living Room Candidate – Commercials – 1964 – Ike at Gettysburg}}</ref> A prominent Hollywood [[celebrity]] who vigorously supported Goldwater was [[Ronald Reagan]]. Reagan gave a well-received televised speech supporting Goldwater; it was so popular that Goldwater's advisors had it played on local television stations around the nation. Many historians consider this speech — "[[A Time for Choosing]]" — to mark the beginning of Reagan's transformation from an actor to a political leader. In [[1966 California gubernatorial election|1966]], Reagan would be elected [[Governor of California]].

Meanwhile, President Johnson was concerned he could lose the election by appearing soft on Communism.<ref>Karnow (1983), p. 371.</ref> On July 10, the {{USS|Maddox|DD-731|6}} was ordered into the [[Gulf of Tonkin]], authorized to "maintain contact with the U.S. military command in Saigon ... and arrange 'such communications ... as may be desired'".<ref>Karnow (1983), p. 366.</ref> On July 30, South Vietnamese commandos tried to attack the North Vietnamese radar station on the island of Hon Me,<ref name=karnow367>Karnow (1983), p. 367.</ref> with the USS ''Maddox'' sufficiently close that the North Vietnamese believed it was there to provide cover for that commando raid.<ref name=karnow370>Karnow (1983), p. 370.</ref> North Vietnam filed an official complaint with the [[International Control Commission]], accusing the United States of being behind the raid.<ref name=karnow367/> On August 2, the ''Maddox'' reported having been attacked by three North Vietnamese Navy torpedo boats.<ref>Moïse (1996), pp. 50, 78.</ref> Johnson called Soviet Premier Khrushchev, saying the US did not want war and asking the Soviets to convince North Vietnam to not attack American warships.<ref>Karnow (1983), pp. 368–369.</ref> The next day, August 3, South Vietnamese raided Cape Vinhson and Cua Ron.<ref name=karnow370/> That night, in the middle of a thunderstorm, the ''Maddox'' intercepted radio messages that gave them "the 'impression' that Communist patrol boats were bracing for [another] assault". They called for air support from the {{USS|Ticonderoga|CV-14|6}}. The pilots didn't see anything, but the ''Maddox'' and the nearby {{USS|Turner Joy}} started shooting in all directions. However, after the incident, all US personnel involved acknowledged they had neither seen nor heard Communist gunfire. Nevertheless, Johnson and an aide Kenneth O'Donnell agreed that Johnson "would have to respond firmly to defend himself against Goldwater and the Republican right wing". Johnson denounced the attack as "unprovoked" and [[Gulf of Tonkin Resolution|secured essentially a blank check to do anything he thought necessary in Vietnam]], and left Goldwater looking like an irresponsible hawk.<ref>Karnow (1983), pp. 368–374. Moïse (1996) noted that the Johnson administration did not ''intentionally'' fake the incident. However, it's clear that Johnson was under pressure to do something, the attacks that actually occurred earlier were ''not'' "unprovoked", as Johnson claimed, and once he had taken action, he could not easily admit that the evidence was over-stated.</ref>

===Ads and slogans===
[[File:Daisy (1964).webm|thumb|thumbtime=3|Full "Daisy" advertisement]]
Johnson positioned himself as a moderate, and succeeded in portraying Goldwater as an extremist. CIA Director William Colby asserted that Tracy Barnes instructed the CIA to spy on the Goldwater campaign and the Republican National Committee, to provide information to Johnson's campaign; [[E. Howard Hunt]], later implicated as a ringleader in the [[Watergate scandal]], disputed this, instead claiming the operation had been ordered by the White House.<ref>Usdin, Steve (May 22, 2018). "When the CIA Infiltrated a Presidential Campaign" (Politico)</ref>

Goldwater had a habit of making blunt statements about [[war]], [[nuclear weapons]], and [[economics]] that could be turned against him. Most famously, the Johnson campaign broadcast a television commercial on September 7 dubbed the [[Daisy (advertisement)|"Daisy Girl"]] ad, which featured a little girl picking petals from a daisy in a field, counting the petals, which then segues into a [[rocket launch|launch]] [[countdown]] and a nuclear explosion.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.livingroomcandidate.org/commercials/1964/peace-little-girl-daisy|title=The Living Room Candidate – Commercials – 1964 – Peace Little Girl (Daisy)}}</ref> The ads were in response to Goldwater's advocacy of "tactical" nuclear weapons use in [[Vietnam]].<ref>Farber, David.

His slogan, "In your heart, you know he's right", was successfully parodied by the Johnson campaign into, "In your guts, you know he's nuts", or, "In your heart, you know he might" (as in "he might push the [[nuclear button]]"), or even, "In your heart, he's too far right".<ref>{{cite web |title=10 worst political slogans of all time |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/the-filter/10-worst-political-slogans-of-all-time/in-your-heart-you-know-hes-right/ |website=[[The Daily Telegraph]] |access-date=February 3, 2021 |date=March 23, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Election and the Vietnam War |url=https://www.britannica.com/biography/Lyndon-B-Johnson/Election-and-the-Vietnam-War |website=[[Encyclopædia Britannica]] |access-date=February 3, 2021}}</ref>

The Johnson campaign's greatest concern may have been voter complacency leading to low turnout in key states.

The election campaign was disrupted for a week by the death of former president [[Herbert Hoover]] on October 20, 1964, because it was considered disrespectful to be campaigning during a time of mourning. Hoover died of natural causes. He had been U.S. president from 1929 to 1933. Both major candidates attended his funeral.<ref>Best, Gary Dean.

The election was held on November 3, 1964. Johnson beat Goldwater in the general election, winning over 61% of the popular vote. Johnson became the only Democrat between 1944 and 1976 to win a majority of the popular vote. In the end, Goldwater won only his native state of [[Arizona]] and five [[Deep South]] states — [[Louisiana]], [[Mississippi]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], [[Alabama]], and [[South Carolina]] — which had been increasingly alienated by Democratic civil rights policies, and where [[Jim Crow laws]] tended to be still active to varying degrees, before the following year's [[Voting Rights Act of 1965|Voting Rights Act]] outlawed them entirely.

The five Southern states that voted for Goldwater swung over dramatically to support him. For instance, in Mississippi, where Democrat [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] had won 97% of the popular vote in [[1936 United States presidential election|1936]], Goldwater won 87% of the vote.<ref>[[Steve Kornacki|Kornacki, Steve]] (February 3, 2011).

The 1964 election was a major transition point for the South, and an important step in the process by which the Democrats' former "[[Solid South]]" became a Republican bastion. Nonetheless, Johnson still managed to eke out a bare popular majority of 51–49% (6.307 to 5.993 million) in the eleven former Confederate states. Conversely, Johnson was the first Democrat ever to carry the state of [[Vermont]] in a presidential election, and only the second Democrat, after Woodrow Wilson in 1912, when the Republican Party was divided, to carry [[Maine]] in the twentieth century. Maine and Vermont had been the only states that FDR had failed to carry during any of his four successful presidential bids.

Around twenty percent of the people who had voted for Nixon in the 1960 election switched their support to Johnson.<ref>{{cite book |last=Murphy |first=Paul |date=1974 |title=Political Parties In American History, Volume 3, 1890-present |publisher=[[G. P. Putnam's Sons]]}}</ref> Of the 3,126 counties/districts/independent cities making returns, Johnson won in 2,275 (72.77%), while Goldwater carried 826 (26.42%). Unpledged electors carried six counties in Alabama (0.19%).

The Johnson landslide defeated many conservative Republican congressmen, giving him a majority that could overcome the [[conservative coalition]].

This was the first election to have the participation of the [[District of Columbia]], under the [[Twenty-third Amendment to the United States Constitution|23rd Amendment to the US Constitution]] from 1961. The Johnson campaign broke two American election records previously held by Franklin Roosevelt: the most Electoral College votes won by a major-party candidate running for the White House for the first time (with 486 to the 472 won by Roosevelt in [[1932 United States presidential election|1932]]); and the largest share of the popular vote under the current Democratic/Republican competition (Roosevelt won 60.8% nationwide, Johnson 61.1%). This first-time electoral count was exceeded when [[Ronald Reagan]] won 489 votes in [[1980 United States presidential election|1980]].

Although Goldwater was decisively defeated, some political pundits and historians believe he laid the foundation for the conservative [[revolution]] to follow. Among them is [[Richard Perlstein]], historian of the American conservative movement, who wrote of Goldwater's defeat: "Here was one time, at least, when history was written by the losers."<ref>{{Cite book|last=Perlstein|first=Richard|title=Before the Storm: Barry Goldwater and the Unmaking of the American Consensus|publisher=Nation Books|year=2001|isbn=978-1-56858-412-6|location=New York|pages=x}}</ref> [[Ronald Reagan]]'s speech on Goldwater's behalf, grass-roots organization, and the conservative takeover (although temporary in the 1960s) of the [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican party]] would all help to bring about the "[[Presidency of Ronald Reagan|Reagan Revolution]]" of the 1980s.


== Reception ==
Johnson went from his victory in the 1964 election to launch the [[Great Society]] program at home, signing the [[Voting Rights Act]] of 1965 and starting the [[War on Poverty]].

In July 2021, an article by [[NPR]] in a series on disinformation accused ''The Daily Wire'' of having found success on Facebook by turning "anger into an art form and recycled content into a business model". It cited among its examples ''Daily Wire'' stories on [[COVID-19 vaccine]]s that disproportionately played up potential side effects.<ref name=":7" /><ref name=":8">{{Cite web|last=Mastrangelo|first=Dominick|date=July 19, 2021|title=Ben Shapiro rips NPR following story critical of Daily Wire's business model|url=https://thehill.com/homenews/media/563711-ben-shapiro-rips-npr-following-story-critical-of-daily-wires-business-model|url-status=live|access-date=August 13, 2021|website=[[The Hill (newspaper)|The Hill]]|language=en|archive-date=August 13, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210813220355/https://thehill.com/homenews/media/563711-ben-shapiro-rips-npr-following-story-critical-of-daily-wires-business-model}}</ref> Shapiro responded on Twitter by asserting that the NPR story reflected "the establishment media's deep desire to keep people from clicking on stories they want to read".<ref name=":8" />

The Daily Wire is an American conservative news website and media company founded in 2015 by political commentator Ben Shapiro and film director Jeremy Boreing.[2][3] The company is a major publisher on Facebook,[4][5][6] and produces podcasts such as The Ben Shapiro Show.[3] The Daily Wire has also produced various films and video series. Its DailyWire+ video on demand platform launched in 2022, and its children's video platform Bentkey in 2023. The Daily Wire is based in Nashville, Tennessee.

Many Daily Wire stories repackage journalism from traditional news organizations while adding a conservative slant.[4][7] Fact checkers have said that some stories shared by The Daily Wire are unverified, and that The Daily Wire sometimes misstates facts to advance a partisan view.[8][9][10]

History

Ben Shapiro, co-founder of The Daily Wire

The Daily Wire was conceived by Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boreing, who both worked for TruthRevolt, a news website that was formerly funded by the David Horowitz Freedom Center.[11] After the duo secured several million dollars in seed funding from billionaire petroleum industry brothers Dan and Farris Wilks, The Daily Wire was launched in 2015.[11][12][13] Farris manages Bentkey Ventures, LLC (formerly Forward Publishing, LLC), which publishes The Daily Wire.[13] Initially, the company was headquartered in Los Angeles, California[14] and supported mostly by advertisements.[1] In September 2020, Shapiro announced that The Daily Wire headquarters would move to Nashville, Tennessee.[15][16][17]

The Daily Wire became one of the leading news sites and publishers on Facebook in terms of engagement. In 2018, NewsWhip identified The Daily Wire as "by far" the top right-wing publisher on Facebook.[18] According to NewsWhip, The Daily Wire was the sixth-leading English-language publisher on Facebook in 2019 through the month of March. The site also had the second most articles among Facebook's 10,000 top stories.[19] In 2021, stories published by The Daily Wire received more likes, shares and comments on Facebook than any other news publisher, according to NPR.[4]

In April 2019, Podtrac ranked The Daily Wire's The Ben Shapiro Show the second most listened-to podcast in the U.S. for the month of March 2019, behind The Daily.[20]

In June 2020, Shapiro stepped down from his role as editor-in-chief, which he had held since the site's founding, and took on the role of editor emeritus. John Bickley was announced as the site's next editor-in-chief.[2]

In January 2021, Shapiro announced that The Daily Wire was beginning a studio for TV and films that would not promote leftist causes.[21] Its first original movie, Shut In, premiered in 2022.[22]

In September 2021, Shapiro and Boreing announced that The Daily Wire would defy U.S. President Joe Biden's COVID-19 vaccine mandate for companies with more than 100 employees.[23] The company later filed a lawsuit, which was eventually brought before the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court declared the mandates unlawful with a 6-3 ruling.[24]

In October 2021, The Daily Wire hired Allison Williams, who had resigned from ESPN because the company mandated that live-event staffers get the vaccine and she had decided against being vaccinated while trying to conceive another child.[25] The Daily Wire advertised the hire as "sports without the woke", with a banner that said "did not comply". Williams said she would explore issues "that may be too taboo for other media outlets".[26]

In 2021, The Daily Wire announced a new publishing imprint, DW Books, that would release books by Shapiro, Candace Owens, Gina Carano, and an officer who fired shots in the police killing of Breonna Taylor, among others. According to AP News, this "continues a trend of conservatives setting up channels outside of the New York [publishing] houses", after publishing houses canceled several books seen as promoting extremist views, or refused distribution when other imprints picked them up. DW Books planned to release books through Ingram Content Group starting in 2022.[27]

The Daily Wire's annual revenues exceeded $100 million for the first time as of early 2022, and it had 150 employees.[28] In March 2022, The Daily Wire announced plans to invest at least $100 million into children's entertainment content over a three year period in response to Disney's opposition to Florida's House Bill 1557.[29][30] In June 2022, The Daily Wire launched DailyWire+, a video on demand platform featuring various Daily Wire content, including podcasts and video productions.[31] In June 2022, co-founder Jeremy Boreing said The Daily Wire had 890,000 paid subscribers.[32] In November 2022, Boreing stated that they have surpassed 1,000,000 subscribers.[33]

In January 2023, conservative commentator Steven Crowder revealed on his Youtube channel that he had received a term sheet from an unnamed conservative media company (later revealed to be The Daily Wire) that included a provision that, if he were to be demonetized or removed from platforms such as YouTube, Facebook or the iTunes Store, his salary would be cut substantially during that period. Crowder took immense issue with that provision, saying that it enforces policies that disproportionately target conservatives and claiming "Big Tech is in bed with Big Con."[34] CEO Jeremy Boreing later responded to Crowder's video, claiming that Crowder had misrepresented the terms of the contract and that the contract would have paid Crowder $50 million over four years. Furthermore, Boreing asserted that the stipulation was necessary to ensure profitability.[35] Other Daily Wire pundits such as Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, and Candace Owens also criticized Crowder for his actions, including secretly recording a phone call he had with Boreing and only releasing parts of the call selectively, including a quote from Boreing saying that up-and-coming conservative commentators need to be "wage slaves for a little bit" while they build their brand.[36][37]

During the 2023 Israel-Hamas War, the organization faced significant infighting between staff members on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.[38][39]

Podcasts and radio

In addition to its written content, the site produces several podcasts, including The Ben Shapiro Show, The Michael Knowles Show, The Matt Walsh Show, and The Andrew Klavan Show.[3]

The reach of The Ben Shapiro Show expanded in April 2018 when Westwood One began syndicating the podcast to radio.[40] In January 2019, Westwood One expanded Shapiro's one-hour podcast-to-radio program, adding a nationally syndicated two-hour live radio show, for three hours of Ben Shapiro programming daily.[41] As of March 2019, according to Westwood One, The Ben Shapiro Show is being carried by more than 200 stations, including in nine of the top ten markets.[42]

In 2020, The Daily Wire acquired the entirety of PragerU's content.[43]

On election day 2020, activist and former Turning Point USA communications director Candace Owens announced that she would move to Nashville, Tennessee, and join The Daily Wire with her own show, Candace.[44] It premiered March 19, 2021. Its episodes air weekly and are filmed before a live studio audience.[45] Notable guests include former president Donald Trump, UFC president Dana White, and U.S. Congressman Jim Jordan.[citation needed]

In March 2022, they started a new podcast called The Comments Section with Brett Cooper.

In 2022, DailyWire+ started airing The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast.[31]

Current personalities

Documentaries

The Daily Wire has created several documentaries, including the Matt Walsh documentary What Is a Woman?, released on June 1, 2022.[46] Two other documentaries are the Candace Owens helm project The Greatest Lie Ever Sold and the Dr. Jordan Peterson project Logos and Literacy.

Entertainment

Daily Wire personalities Michael Knowles and Jeremy Boreing have performed a couple songs together, as a band with the name Smokey Mike & The god-king.[47]

In January 2021, The Daily Wire released Run Hide Fight, a feature-length drama about a mass school shooting. Its North American release was exclusive to Daily Wire subscribers.[48] In November, The Daily Wire launched Adam Carolla Truth Yeller, a comedy podcast filmed with a live audience, featuring comedian Adam Carolla.[49][third-party source needed]

On February 10, 2022 The Daily Wire's first original film, Shut In, premiered on YouTube. It was directed by D.J. Caruso and starred Rainey Qualley, Josh Horowitz, and Vincent Gallo in his first film since 2013.[22] After acquiring domestic rights to The Hyperions, a superhero comedy starring Cary Elwes, the company premiered the film for free on YouTube on March 10, 2022. Afterward, it moved to The Daily Wire site for exclusive domestic on-demand viewing.[50][51]

Terror on the Prairie, a western set in Montana and starring Gina Carano, was released to subscribers on June 14, 2022.[52]

On June 29, 2022, The Daily Wire launched the video on demand platform DailyWire+ featuring various Daily Wire podcasts and video productions,[31] and announced an animated preschool series titled Chip Chilla, which features the voice of comedian Rob Schneider.[53] On November 3, My Dinner with Trump, a cinéma vérité-style documentary featuring Donald Trump with 16 of his closest advisors, released exclusively on the platform.[54]

In November 2022, The Daily Wire announced that it will produce adaptations of Ayn Rand's 1957 novel Atlas Shrugged and Stephen R. Lawhead's series The Pendragon Cycle.[55][56] The Pendragon Cycle began filming in September 2023, and is planned for release in 2024. The seven-episode series will be co-directed by Jeremy Boreing and will star Tom Sharp and the conservative YouTuber Brett Cooper.[57] On October 16, 2023 – the anniversary of Walt Disney founding his company – Boreing announced a kids' content service called Bentkey, which launched that day. The service features some of the kids' content they had announced the prior year, including Chip Chilla.[58] Bentkey's first feature-length film was announced to be a live-action adaptation of Snow White, titled Snow White and the Evil Queen, starring Cooper as the titular character, in response to the upcoming 2025 Disney Snow White film.[59]

In March 2022, co-CEO Jeremy Boreing opened a line of subscription-based shaving razors called Jeremy's Razors, openly competing against former Daily Wire sponsor Harry's Razors.[63][third-party source needed] In March 2023, Boreing started selling chocolate bars branded as Jeremy's Chocolate after Hershey's chocolate bars hired a trans woman to be a spokesperson for International Women's Day.[64]

Reception

Accuracy

Fact checkers have said that some stories shared by The Daily Wire are unverified, and that The Daily Wire sometimes misstates facts to advance a partisan view.[65][13][66] According to Snopes, "DailyWire.com has a tendency to share stories that are taken out of context or not verified", including an incorrect report on baby names in the Netherlands,[66] a misdated, exaggerated story that protesters were digging up Confederate graves,[67] a false allegation that Democratic congresspeople had refused to stand for a fallen Navy SEAL's widow,[68] and a report that Harvard University was segregating commencement ceremonies (because black students had planned an optional event).[69] The credibility checker NewsGuard assessed in 2021 that The Daily Wire "has sometimes misstated facts, including about COVID-19" but "generally maintains basic standards of credibility and transparency — with significant exceptions".[65][better source needed]

Various articles by The Daily Wire have engaged in climate change denial by making false or misleading claims when they dispute the scientific consensus on climate change.[70][71][72][73][13] In 2017, when scientists writing in Climate Feedback described several Daily Wire articles as inaccurate or lacking evidence,[70][71][72] The Daily Wire published corrections in two articles, after which the scientists assessed that the updated articles were still misleading.[74][75] In November 2021, a study by the Center for Countering Digital Hate described The Daily Wire as being among "ten fringe publishers" that together were responsible for nearly 70 percent of Facebook user interactions with content that denied climate change. Facebook said the percentage was overstated and called the study misleading.[76][77]

The "Coronavirus Misinformation Weekly Briefing" by academics of the Oxford Internet Institute described The Daily Wire's coverage of COVID-19 lockdowns and the World Health Organization as examples of "junk health news" narratives in 2020.[78][79] Multiple scientific studies have identified The Daily Wire as a fake news website.[80][81][82][83][84] Boston University and Forbes have described the website as far-right.[39][85]

In April 2017, The Daily Wire incorrectly credited the Housing and Urban Development secretary, Ben Carson, with finding over $500 billion in accounting errors made by the Obama administration. FactCheck.org reported that the errors were discovered and published by HUD's independent inspector general before Carson became secretary.[86]

Facebook criticism

In October 2019, the investigative website Popular Information said that The Daily Wire had violated Facebook's policies by creating 14 anonymous pages promoting its content exclusively to boost engagement.[87][88][89] In response, Facebook temporarily demoted a network called Mad World News, which had a financial relationship with The Daily Wire, but issued no penalty to The Daily Wire besides a warning.[90][91]

In July 2021, an article by NPR in a series on disinformation accused The Daily Wire of having found success on Facebook by turning "anger into an art form and recycled content into a business model". It cited among its examples Daily Wire stories on COVID-19 vaccines that disproportionately played up potential side effects.[4][92] Shapiro responded on Twitter by asserting that the NPR story reflected "the establishment media's deep desire to keep people from clicking on stories they want to read".[92]
