Detailed explanation-1: -After this interview, Johnson announced his choice of Humphrey for the vice presidential nomination. Humphrey easily won the vice presidential nomination on the first ballot at the 1964 Democratic National Convention. The Johnson–Humphrey ticket went on to beat the Goldwater–Miller ticket in the 1964 election.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1862, Lincoln appointed him as Military Governor of Tennessee after most of it had been retaken. In 1864, Johnson was a logical choice as running mate for Lincoln, who wished to send a message of national unity in his re-election campaign; and became vice president after a victorious election in 1864.
Detailed explanation-3: -Kennedy chose Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson, who had finished second on the presidential ballot, as his running mate. Johnson, a Protestant Texan, provided geographical and religious balance to a ticket led by a Catholic Northeasterner, but many liberals did not like the pick.
