Nixon blamed for GOP coattail failure to gain seats
Rep. Clarence J. Brown charged that President Nixon and his re election committee bore the blame for the landslide not producing a larger Republican showing. He said the campaign funded Democrats by diverting donations, leaving many Republicans under supported and some incumbents helped by Democrats. Brown warned of trouble with the 93rd Congress and called for new party leadership to replace Nixon's fading influence. He attributed the loss to misaligned strategy and money distribution, noting many Republicans felt self supported without heavy White House help.
