Pressure Mounts for Vice President Humphrey to Choose Moderate Running Mate1968-07-28unknownhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_026_3_282_19_0037Hubert Humphrey is being urged to choose a more moderate running mate to appeal to Southern voters and strengthen his chances in the presidential election. Potential candidates include Senator Fred Harris, who could help attract young anti-war Democrats. The decision by Senator Ted Kennedy not to run for vice president has left Humphrey searching for a viable option, with some suggesting a Humphrey-Southerner ticket. Despite facing challenges, Humphrey is still seen as a frontrunner for the Democratic nomination.
