Before 1968, Lyndon Johnson led the Democratic Party. Johnson's policies in Vietnam led to opposition, and he ended his campaign abruptly in March 1968, making way for Vice President Humphrey to enter the Presidential race.

The historical context of conventions and party structures plays a pivotal role in understanding the current challenges.
