Eisenhower Republican Party (United States) John F. Kennedy Democratic Party (United States) The 1960 United States presidential election in Texas was held on November 8, 1960, as part of the 1960 United States presidential election. The Democratic Party candidate John F. Kennedy, narrowly won the state of Texas with 50.52 percent of the vote to the Republican candidate Vice President Richard Nixon's 48.52%, a margin of two percent, giving him the state's 24 electoral votes. Despite the presence of U.S. Senator Lyndon B. Johnson on the Democratic ticket (as well as Johnson winning in a landslide in the concurrent Senate election), the result made Texas the tenth closest state in the election. Nixon's strong performance in the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex, Harris County, the Panhandle, and the Hill Country kept the race close.1960 Presidential General Election Results - Texas http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?fips=48&year=1960 April 26, 2016 Background The weakening of the Democratic control over the Solid South allowed Republicans to win Texas in the 1952 and 1956 presidential elections. The state legislature passed legislation requested by Lyndon B. Johnson that allowed him to run in both the presidential election and the concurrent senatorial election.Moreland Steed Baker 1991 221 Campaign Fears of anti-Catholic voting in West Texas, which had given Herbert Hoover a narrow win over Al Smith in 1928,Phillips, Kevin P.; The Emerging Republican Majority, p. 212 1400852293 were not entirely realized. It is notable that the sparsely populated rural Plains counties of Armstrong, Bailey, Childress, Collingsworth, Dallam, Dawson, Donley, Floyd, Gaines, Hale, Hardeman, Hartley, Moore, Motley, Parmer, Wheeler, Willbarger and Yoakum switched from Stevenson to Nixon, as did Wise County north of Fort Worth, while a further thirty-eight counties saw Kennedy fail to reach Stevenson's vote percentage.Menendez, Albert J.; The Religious Factor in the 1960 Presidential Election: An Analysis of the Kennedy Victory over Anti-Catholic Prejudice, p. 135 0786460377 However, this was more than offset by Kennedy's gains in heavily Hispanic Catholic South Texas, where few Mexicans had voted in 1928.Phillips; The Emerging Republican Majority, p. 221 Anti-Catholic voting was also lessened by appeals from former President Harry Truman, who campaigned for Kennedy and Johnson.Carty, T.; A Catholic in the White House?: Religion, Politics, and John F. Kennedy's Presidential Campaign, p. 90 1403981302 2024 11 As of the 2024 presidential election, this is the last time Glasscock County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.Menendez, Albert J.; The Geography of Presidential Elections in the United States, 1868-2004, pp. 311–319 0786422173 Nixon himself later commented "we lost Texas...because of that asshole Congressman",Solis Meagan 11 November 2013 Primary Sources Illuminate Dallas 1963 https://www.texasobserver.org/bill-minutaglio-steven-l-davis-present-dallas-1963-witliff-collections-bookpeople/ May 24, 2020 Texas Observer referring to Bruce Alger. The only Republican congressman in Texas at the time, Alger had led protestors, many of them well-heeled conservative women, against Johnson's visit to Dallas on November 4. One woman pulled Johnson's wife's gloves out of her hand, and her hat was knocked off by a protestor's placard. Nicknamed the "mink coat mob", the resulting press coverage was a humiliation for Texas RepublicansDavis Steven 20 November 2013 LBJ and Dallas's Mink Coat Mob https://prospect.org/article/lbj-and-dallass-mink-coat-mob American ProspectSchuddel Matt April 25, 2015 Bruce Alger, firebrand Republican congressman from Texas, dies at 96 The Washington Post https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/bruce-alger-firebrand-republican-congressman-from-texas-dies-at-96/2015/04/25/798e4b2a-eb6f-11e4-aae1-d642717d8afa_story.html May 17, 2015 and was blamed for damaging the party's electoral results in the South generally at a time when wives were regarded as sacrosanct.Dan Helpingstine https://books.google.com/books?id=39tODgAAQBAJ&pg=PT42 Dallas Forever Changed: The Legacy of November 1963 June 24, 2015 Pelican Publishing Company 978-1-4556-2055-5 42 Johnson won in the concurrent senatorial election against Republican nominee John Tower, but Tower won in the special election to fill the vacancy created by Johnson's election to the vice-presidency.Moreland Steed Baker 1991 221 This was the first time since 1920 that Texas voted differently than neighboring Oklahoma, and the second of only four such elections overall.
