Historical NoteVice President Hubert Humphrey was a liberal Democrat from Minnesota that co-founded Americans for Democratic Action. He was initially opposed to the Vietnam War, but reversed his position on it as vice-president due to pressure from President Johnson, which made him lose much of his support base of civil rights, labor activists, and other liberals.
