Johnson Not Running For President Yet Seeks Senate Reelectio

Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson, longtime Senate leader from Texas, avoids early presidential campaigning. He says he is not seeking the 1960 nomination, focusing on re-election while leaving room to consider the nation's needs if the Democratic convention scrolls to him. Johnson’s cautious, calculated approach contrasts with more aggressive fellow candidates. He argues for a civil rights bill and other social measures, which could influence northern liberals and possibly push the convention toward a compromise Johnson figure if a deadlock occurs.
