Contested Delegate Plan Faces 1976 Agnew Bid
At a sweltering convention, Republicans clash over a delegate apportionment plan favored by smaller states and opposed by moderates from large industrial states. The central issue is Vice President Agnew potential as a 1976 candidate amid talks, while figures like Gov. Milliken and Sen. Percy debate the path forward. Delegates face challenges, platform delays, and a lineup of keynote speakers including Brooke Armstrong and Lugar as Nixon and Agnew arrive.
