We remember Lyndon B. Johnson who was born in Texas on this day in 1908. He became president on the day that President Kennedy was assassinated, and then went on to win one of the biggest landslides ever in 1964. By 1968, LBJ declined to run again because of the difficulties with the Vietnam War.
Before 1960, Johnson was a very powerful US Senator and Majority Leader.
