The 1960 general election was one of the closest in modern history. Kennedy's margin over Nixon in the popular vote was 118,550 out of a total of nearly 69 million votes cast. The space race had just begun with the launch of Sputnik, and it was the first time that both candidates were born in the 20th century. In fact, Kennedy would become the youngest president ever elected, even though Vice President Nixon was only 47 years old himself at the time.

Nixon's 1960 campaign focused on the peace and prosperity of the Eisenhower administration, assuring voters that he would maintain American prestige, leadership, and military strength. He chose Henry Cabot Lodge, the US ambassador to the United Nations, as his running mate. Nixon's maturity and experience appealed to many voters, and he led in the polls after the national conventions. However, this was not enough, as JFK managed to eke out a victory, bringing an end to the Eisenhower era.

The 1960 election remains a source of debate among some historians, as they question whether vote theft in selected states aided Kennedy's victory.
