On March 31, 1968, President Lyndon B. Johnson announced he would not seek re-election, amidst ongoing protests over the Vietnam War, low popularity, and a poor performance in the New Hampshire primary. After President Biden stepped down from the 2024 Presidential Election many Americans saw similarities between this cycle and the 1968 race.
