The website FascinatingPolitics.com recalled Lodge's legacy in a 2020 article entitled "Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr.: The Modern Republican Who Helped Make Two Presidents," referring to Lodge's key role in the nomination of Dwight Eisenhower in 1952 and that same year in his defeat for senator by John F. Kennedy, a campaign which the "Boston Brahmin" Lodge neglected and paid the price. Lodge appeared on the Republican ticket for vice president in 1960, but was unable to pry away Massachusetts from Kennedy, whereas his vice-presidential opponent, Senator Lyndon Johnson, worked to narrowly win his own [[Texas]]. Lodge accepted appointments in the three consecutive presidencies of Eisenhower, Kenney, and Johnson.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://fascinatingpolitics.com/2020/04/01/henry-cabot-lodge-jr-the-modern-republican-who-helped-make-two-presidents/|title=Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr.: The Modern Republican Who Helped Make Two Presidents|publisher=''Mad Politics: The Bizarre, Fascinating, and Unknown of American Political History''|date=April 1, 2020|accessdate=May 9, 2020}}</ref>
