On this day – 26th September 1960 – The first televised political debate in the US
The first political debate ever sent on TV in the US was the debate between John F. Kennedy and Richard M. Nixon in Chicago. The debate was “won” by John Kennedy who had acting experience. For Richard Nixon was he experience so negative that he refused to participate in televised during the 1968 and 1972 campaigns.
