Governor King backs Johnson in NH McCarthy race
New Hampshire Governor John W. King, a Johnson ally, warned that even a significant McCarthy vote would signal a public desire to quit the war. He predicted Johnson’s 3 to 1 win, estimating 40,000 to 45,000 Democrats would vote, while McCarthy could reach about 25 percent. King dismissed McCarthy’s Hanoi remark as nonsensical and political puffery, urging focus on ending the war.
