He was unseated on November 3, 1964, by the Democratic senatorial nominee, former [[United States Attorney General]] [[Robert F. Kennedy]], a younger brother of the slain [[John F. Kennedy]] who ran 700,000 votes ahead of Keating. In part, Keating was a casualty of the nomination of Senator [[Barry Goldwater]] of [[Arizona]], who lost New York by a wide margin to [[U.S. President]] [[Lyndon B. Johnson]]. Keating pointedly did not endorse Goldwater, who ran on a [[conservative]] platform but indicated that he did not vote in the presidential part of the ballot. Some [[liberal]] anti-Kennedy Democrats organized behind Keating.<ref name=bio>Kenneth Keating Biography | HowOld.co, accessed July 16, 2021.</ref>
