History Repeats?

1968 US Presidential election – President Lyndon Johnson, Democrat, decided not to seek re-election 
2024 US Presidential election – President Joe Biden, Democrat, decided not to seek re-election 

1968 US Presidential election – Vice President Hubert Humphrey, Democrat, gets the Democratic Party nomination 
2024 US Presidential election – Vice President Kamala Harris, Democrat, likely to get the Democratic Party nomination 

1968 Democratic Party Convention in Chicago. There were lot of protests and riots 
2024 Democratic Party Convention in Chicago. Will wait to see 

1968 US Presidential election – Richard Nixon, Republican, who ran for President before and was defeated gets the nomination 
2024 US Presidential election – Donald Trump, Republican, who ran for President before and was defeated gets the nomination 

1968 US Presidential election – Richard Nixon, Republican wins

    You have rightly put a question mark in your title.None can predict the outcome in a democratically conducted election.

    Nixon resigned after Watergate scandel. Will you predict what may happen if and when Donald Trump become president??? Before the end of his presidency will he leave the office for some reason?

      Thanks for your comments seema. I am not an astrologer to tell what will happen. But, if Trump wins and becomes the President, anything can happen, He is 78 and you know very well how unexpected things happen to older people.

    Striking similarities! Whether the outcome will mirror Nixon's 1968 victory depends on the evolving political scenario....!

    It looks like the history is going to repeat since Trump 's winning chances are more with the sympathy wave

    Quite a lot of coincidences. My thoughts are on the margin of victory. If Kamala Harris wins by a narrow margin, then I am a bit worried about the reactions from the opponents.
