Ford Shows Unity by Embracing Pete McCloskey in San Jose
Vice President Ford defied intense pressure April 20 in San Jose by embracing liberal Rep. Pete McCloskey without harming his standing with key Republicans. He avoided endorsing McCloskey’s renomination while signaling a willingness to keep McCloskey in the party fold, angering hard-liner conservatives but underscoring Ford’s broader party conciliatory approach. Ford’s stance contrasted with Aguen and Nixon figures, suggesting a strategic push to unite a wide Republican spectrum around reformist themes.
