On September 26, 1960, for the first time in U.S. history, a
debate between major party presidential candidates was
broadcast on live television.
The presidential hopefuls, John F. Kennedy, a Democratic
senator of Massachusetts, and Richard M. Nixon, the vice
president of the United States, met in a Chicago studio to
discuss U.S. domestic matters.
Kennedy emerged the apparent winner from this first of
four televised debates.
