For political history lovers, this August has been something special. What happened in the 2024 presidential campaign this month won’t soon be forgotten.
But we also remember what happened in August 50 years ago.
Richard Nixon’s resignation as president – and Gerald Ford becoming president.
This week’s episode of C-SPAN’s podcast “The Weekly” is all about Gerald Ford.
And his two big public appearances after becoming president.
Both in August 1974.
His first address to Congress as president. And his first press conference as president.
What did he say about Richard Nixon?
What did he say about a pardon and presidential immunity?
And did he tell jokes?
Well, yes – to Congress:
“Only 8 months ago, when I last stood here, I told you I was a Ford, not a Lincoln. Tonight I say I am still a Ford, but I am not a Model T.”
What are the parallels between a Vice President replacing a president in August 1974 – and a Vice President replacing the presidential nominee 50 year later?
Find out in “The Weekly.”
