Kennedy Defeats Long for Post of Senate Whip
Kennedy wins the Senate whip post over Long in a GOP session. He says he will be an activist, vigorous Democratic whip and aims to broaden the party base while promising cooperation with the Nixon administration. He avoids comment on MeeCarthy’s broader leadership support and notes the role will be time consuming. Observers see the victory as potential momentum for a 1972 presidential bid and a shift in Southern Senate influence.
