1968 United States House of Representatives elections (The Kennedy Legacy)

The 1968 United States House of Representatives elections were elections for the United States House of Representatives held on November 5, 1968 that coincided with the 1968 presidential election, which saw Democratic nominee Robert F. Kennedy defeat |Richard Nixon and |George Wallace. In the House, Kennedy's victory slightly assisted Democrats who picked up two seats from the Republican Party.

During the presidential race, George Wallace ran an independent campaign with the American Independent Party with the goal of denying both the Democratic and Republican candidates a majority in the electoral college. However, Wallace's plan to throw the election to the House ultimately failed as he only gained 57 electoral votes while the winning candidate, Robert F. Kennedy, won 318, more than the 270 electoral votes needed to win.
