Johnson, who lost the democratic nomination to John F. Kennedy, never wanted to be JFK’s vice president, but was sidelined after the election despite his own experience.
Harrelson looks great in the role, and I’d also like to point out Jennifer Jason Leigh’s superb Lady Bird Johnson look.
But once they win the election, despite his extensive legislative experience and shrewd political instincts, Johnson finds himself sidelined in the role of vice president.
But then, as we know, JFK was assassinated, and Johnson was shoehorned into a presidency he never expected to get.
