Pinback button promoting Lyndon Johnson for president, Hubert Humphrey for vice president, and Robert Kennedy for U.S. Senate, New York, 1964. Liberal Party of New York.Increasingly at odds with Lyndon Johnson following his brother's death, and sensing an opportunity to further this own career, Robert Kennedy resigned his post as head of the Justice Department to run for the U.S. Senate from his adopted home in New York, coasting to victory despite charges of carpetbagging. Strained relations with the president notwithstanding, the two men appear together on this uncommon "trigate" pinback with another old Kennedy rival, Hubert Humphrey. Politics makes strange bedfellows!
