The 1960 United States presidential election in Kentucky took place on November 8, 1960, as part of the
1960 United States presidential election. Kentucky voters chose 10
[2] representatives, or electors, to the
Electoral College, who voted for
president and
vice president.
Kentucky was won by
incumbent Vice President
Richard Nixon (
R–
California), running with
United States Ambassador to the United Nations
Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., with 53.59 percent of the popular vote, against
Senator
John F. Kennedy (
D–
Massachusetts), running with Senator
Lyndon B. Johnson, with 46.41 percent of the popular vote.
[3]
[4] Nixon thus became the first Republican to ever carry Kentucky without winning the presidency, and remained the last until John McCain did so in
2008. Kennedy was the first Democrat to win without the state since 1852.
