Democrats Welcome Lindsay To Party But It Was Republicans
Democrats welcomed New York Mayor John Lindsay to the party but Republicans framed the switch as political opportunism. Key figures like Dole and McGovern weighed Lindsay’s nominating chances, with mixed views on the impact on Nixon’s administration and the 1972 race. Many GOP leaders predicted a contested bid, while some Democrats urged restraint and noted potential shifts in support.
