S01E02 Nixon's the One

In a shocking turn of events, Nixon faces a narrow loss in one of the tightest presidential races ever against John F. Kennedy. Though initially crushed, he sets his sights on the California governorship, only to suffer another humiliating defeat. This leads Nixon to withdraw from the political arena for the first time, watching the chaotic 1960s unfold from the sidelines. However, by 1968, as the nation grapples with unrest both domestically and internationally, Nixon sees a chance for redemption. With a fierce determination to reshape his reputation, he embarks on a strategic campaign for the presidency in a highly charged and emotional election.
