Description
Nothing starts a good presidential transition like charges of treason, and thus it was in 1968 that a tense election ending started a transition between Presidents of two parties. Yet all things considering, Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson's transition is considered one of the better ones. We look into the circumstances, the actions and the phone calls between LBJ and Nixon, from November 5th, 1968 to January 20th, 1969. We also look at contemporary news stories, and stories of other presidential transitions. Music from Lee Rosevere- Music for Podcasts (turns out the true crime edition music really fits)
