"Kennedy for President. Johnson for Vice President" Vintage Campaign Poster

Offered by: The Great Republic

Description
This is an original 1960 campaign poster for Democratic-nominees John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, elected as our 35th President and 37th Vice President. This poster was an integral part of their campaign in 1960.

The poster features black and white photographic portraits of Kennedy and Johnson, set against a red, white, and blue background. At top and bottom in big block letters, the poster urges voters to choose, "KENNEDY FOR PRESIDENT/ JOHNSON FOR VICE PRESIDENT.” An offset lithograph, this poster was published by the Democratic National Committee, Washington DC.

Kennedy's campaign began on January 2, 1960. His main opponents included Hubert Humphrey, Adlai Stevenson, and Lyndon B. Johnson, who would later be nominated as his vice presidential running mate on July 14. After a very close race and despite his young age, Kennedy was elected as the 35th American President of the United States.
