When Gerald Ford ascended to the presidency on August 9, 1974, following Richard Nixon’s resignation amid the Watergate scandal, he faced the immediate task of selecting a new vice president. Ford chose Nelson Rockefeller, the former governor of New York and a prominent figure in the Republican Party’s liberal wing, to fill the vacancy. Ford’s decision was influenced by Rockefeller’s extensive political experience and his ability to appeal to a broader spectrum of voters, which Ford hoped would strengthen his position for the upcoming 1976 presidential election.
Rockefeller’s nomination, however, was met with mixed reactions. While many appreciated his political acumen and leadership, conservative factions within the Republican Party were less enthusiastic, viewing him as too liberal. Despite the opposition, Rockefeller was confirmed by the Senate on December 10, 1974, with a vote of 90 to 7, and by the House on December 19, 1974, with a vote of 287 to 128. His tenure as vice president was marked by his commitment to restoring public confidence in the government during a tumultuous period in American politics.
