Who was john f. kennedy's opponent in the 1960 presidential election?

John F. Kennedy's opponent in the 1960 presidential election was Richard Nixon.

Explanation:

The presidential election of 1960 marked the end of the administration of Dwight D. Eisenhower, who served two terms in the presidency. His vice president, Richard Nixon, who had transformed his office into a national political base, was the Republican candidate, while the Democrats nominated Massachusetts Senator John F. Kennedy.

The electoral vote was the closest in a presidential election since 1916. In the popular vote, Kennedy's margin of victory was one of the closest in American history. The 1960 elections are still a matter of debate among some historians about whether there was a vote-stealing in some states that helped Kennedy win. Virginia Senator Harry F. Byrd received 15 electoral votes of 14 states of the South.

This was the first presidential election in which Alaska and Hawaii participated, having been granted Statehood, respectively, from January 3 to August 21 of the previous year. It was also the first election in which both candidates for the presidency had been born in the 20th century. This was also the last election where the candidate who got Ohio did not win the election.
