Question

which was one factor that contributed significantly to kennedys victory in the election of 1960?
A)His large family
B)His religion
C)His choice of a running mate

Answer 1

I did some digging for you the only thing I found was his age and his religion so B would be the best answer

Answer 2

Answer: B) His religion.

Explanation:

Kennedy was a Roman Catholic, and, since no Catholic had ever won the  Presidential election before, his capacity to prioritize national interests over the Vatican´s agenda was doubted, as well as his electability in the Bible Belt South. Despite his statements about the importance of separating church and state, his religion may have cost him an around 1.5 million votes in that election. Nevertheless, he won the Presidency.
