The1960 United States presidential election in Texas was held on November 8, 1960, as part of the1960 United States presidential election. TheDemocratic Party candidateJohn F. Kennedy, narrowly won the state of Texas with 50.52 percent of the vote to theRepublican candidate Vice PresidentRichard Nixon's 48.52%, a margin of two percent, giving him the state's 24 electoral votes. Despite the presence of U.S. SenatorLyndon B. Johnson on the Democratic ticket (as well as Johnson winning in a landslidein the concurrent Senate election), the result made Texas the tenth closest state in the election. Nixon's strong performance in the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex, Harris County, the Panhandle, and the Hill Country kept the race close.[1]
The weakening of theDemocratic control over theSolid South allowedRepublicans to win Texas in the1952 and1956 presidential elections. The state legislature passed legislation requested byLyndon B. Johnson that allowed him to run in both the presidential election and theconcurrent senatorial election.[2]
Fears of anti-Catholic voting in West Texas, which had givenHerbert Hoover a narrow win overAl Smith in1928,[3] were not entirely realized. It is notable that the sparsely populated rural Plains counties ofArmstrong,Bailey,Childress,Collingsworth,Dallam,Dawson,Donley,Floyd,Gaines,Hale,Hardeman,Hartley,Moore,Motley,Parmer,Wheeler,Willbarger andYoakum switched from Stevenson to Nixon, as didWise County north of Fort Worth, while a further thirty-eight counties saw Kennedy fail to reach Stevenson's vote percentage.[4] However, this was more than offset by Kennedy's gains in heavily Hispanic Catholic South Texas, where few Mexicans had voted in1928.[5] Anti-Catholic voting was also lessened by appeals from former PresidentHarry Truman, who campaigned for Kennedy and Johnson.[6] As of the2024 presidential election[update], this is the last timeGlasscock County voted for a Democratic presidential candidate.[7]
Nixon himself later commented "we lost Texas...because of that asshole Congressman",[8] referring toBruce Alger. The only Republican congressman in Texas at the time, Alger had led protestors, many of them well-heeled conservative women, against Johnson's visit to Dallas on November 4. One woman pulledJohnson's wife's gloves out of her hand, and her hat was knocked off by a protestor's placard. Nicknamed the "mink coat mob", the resulting press coverage was a humiliation for Texas Republicans[9][10] and was blamed for damaging the party's electoral results in the South generally at a time when wives were regarded as sacrosanct.[11]
Johnson won in the concurrent senatorial election against Republican nomineeJohn Tower, but Tower won in thespecial election to fill the vacancy created by Johnson's election to the vice-presidency.[2] This was the first time since1920 that Texas voted differently than neighboringOklahoma, and the second of only four such elections overall.
