When Johnson was forced to pull out of the 1968 election by a poor showing in the first primary, Humphrey became the choice of labor unions, Democratic party officials, and city machines. He won the nomination without entering any primaries.  After an intense campaign, in the closing days he repudiated Johnson's policy on the [[Vietnam War]], thus winning back some disaffected voters on the far-left.  Meanwhile his unions allies managed to undercut [[George Wallace]]'s appeal to white ethnics.  Once far behind Nixon, Humphrey almost caught up, but failed as the [[New Deal Coalition]] collapsed and the [[Fifth Party System]] ended.
