NEW YORK (AP) — Longtime newsman Chris Wallace isn't only thinking about this year's presidential election.
The CNN anchor has written a book on the race between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon, narrowly won by Kennedy, that featured the first televised presidential debates. Dutton announced Wednesday that “Countdown 1960: The Behind-the-Scenes Story of the 311 Days that Changed America’s Politics Forever” will be published Oct. 8.
Wallace added: The 1960 campaign was “marked by allegations the election had been stolen,” a precursor to Donald Trump's baseless allegations that the 2020 election was stolen and that he did not lose to Joe Biden.
