 Welcome to The American Presidency
Elected party leader in 1953, Johnson at first had only the minority in the Senate to lead, but in the congressional elections of 1954 the Democrats regained a majority, and they kept it throughout the remainder of Eisenhower's two terms as president.
Johnson's support for civil rights, especially the very strong support he provided for a second law in 1960, also concerned chiefly with voting, was part of his move in a liberal direction as the presidential election approached.
In October, the Senate failed to approve Johnson's nomination of Abe Fortas to be chief justice of the United States.
