Answer:

If I were asked to write a summary of the 1968 Presidential election, I would focus significant attention on Hubert Humphrey, as he was the Democratic candidate for the presidency.

Explanation:

The presidential election of 1968 was held on November 5, 1968 and was one of the most intense elections in American history. On June 5, 1968, one of the leading Democratic Party contenders, Robert Kennedy, was killed by a Palestinian immigrant, just two months after the murder of Martin Luther King, which caused racial riots across the country. The country was seething with widespread uprisings against the Vietnam War. Democrats nominated Hubert Humphrey, and Republicans nominated the former vice-president Richard Nixon. The independent third-party candidate, George Wallace, who won in several states, also made a strong statement. As a result, with a slight advantage, Nixon won, promising to restore "law and order."
