BiographyBarry Goldwater (1909-1998) was the Republican nominee in the 1964 United States presidential election, running against incumbent President, Lyndon B. Johnson. A senator from Arizona, Goldwater was known for his strong conservative views, advocating for limited government, lower taxes, and a more aggressive foreign policy, particularly regarding the Cold War. His campaign faced significant opposition from both moderate Republicans and Democrats, with Johnson winning a landslide victory, securing over 60% of the popular vote. Despite his loss, Goldwater’s candidacy marked a turning point for the Republican Party, helping to lay the foundation for the conservative movement that would rise to prominence in the following decades.
