The 1960 United States presidential election in Washington took place on November 8, 1960, as part of the 1960 United States presidential election. State voters chose nine[2] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Washington was won by incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon (R–California), running with United States Ambassador to the United Nations Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., with 50.68% of the popular vote, against Senator John F. Kennedy (D–Massachusetts), running with Senator Lyndon B. Johnson, with 48.27% of the popular vote.[3][4]
This was the first time since 1892 that Washington state backed a losing Republican candidate, though it did back Progressive candidate and former Republican Theodore Roosevelt in his third party bid in 1912.
