Lyndon B. Johnson Democratic Richard Nixon Republican The 1968 United States presidential election in Pennsylvania took place on November 5, 1968, and was part of the 1968 United States presidential election.

Pennsylvania voted for the Democratic nominee, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, over the Republican nominee, former Vice President Richard Nixon.

A third-party candidate, former Alabama Governor George Wallace, played a significant role by winning 7.97% of the vote.

This marked the first time since 1948 that a losing presidential candidate carried Pennsylvania, and the first time ever that the candidate was a Democrat.

This also marked the first time a Republican won the presidency without Pennsylvania.
