Ford says losses not referendum on him plans 1976 run
President Ford does not view Tuesday's Republican losses as a referendum on his leadership and plans to run in 1976. Press Secretary Ron Nessen said inflation was the top campaign issue and Ford remained philosophical about election ups and downs after monitoring returns late Tuesday night. Economists warned wage and price controls could rise with Democratic gains, while many see a recession complicating inflationary pressures.
