Lyndon Johnson was known for his use of political power and manipulation to pass the Vietnam War and Civil Rights Act of 1964, signing the 1965 Immigration and Naturalization Act that opened up new pathways to citizenship for immigrants, expanding Medicaid and spending greatly on anti-poverty programs, but it caused a massive increase in public debt. He also enacted major governmental changes to create “The Great Society” but received criticism for increasing federal involvement in areas such as education. Additionally, many alleged he attempted to manipulate the 1968 presidential election by withholding funds from South Vietnam if he was not re-elected.

Lyndon B. Johnson was accused of engaging in illegal wiretapping and other civil rights abuses during his presidency. He also expanded the Vietnam War, pushing through a series of major social and economic programs without Congress's approval, leading to a considerable increase in federal spending. Additionally, Johnson's decision to sign the Civil Rights Act of 1964 came just two months before the election which some believe influenced voters enough to re-elect him president.
