In 1960, Nixon was convinced by the Republican party leadership to run for the Presidency under the [[Republican-Democratic Coalition|{{color|#00ffdf|Republican-Democratic Coalition (RDC)}}]] alongside [[Democratic Party|{{color|#2300ff|Democratic}}]] senator [[John F. Kennedy]] in [[1960 United States presidential election|that year's presidential election]]. The ticket would be the first time two candidates on the same ticket were from opposing parties since Republican president Abraham Lincoln ran with Andrew Johnson, a Democrat in 1864.
The Nixon-Kennedy ticket would defeat the [[National Progressive Pact|{{color|#ec8e03|National Progressive Pact (NPP)}}]] ticket, consisting of [[Henry M. Jackson]] and [[J. William Fulbright]], in a landslide. Nixon would win 424 electoral votes and 58.5% of the national popular vote.
==== "Dirty Tricks" campaign ====
Nixon's landslide victory would not prove entirely fairly won. Using ties with F.B.I. Director, J. Edgar Hoover, Nixon would employ a campaign of "dirty tricks", which would see several sabotage operations be enacted against the NPP and its candidate, [[Henry M. Jackson]]. Nixon's campaign would begin to steal crucial information from files taken from the NPP and discredit the Pact by making light of the Nazi and Communist members, including [[Francis Parker Yockey]] and [[Gus Hall]]. Nixon would approve the wiretapping of the National Progressive Pact Headquarters and would work on dividing the NPP in the election to hinder their chances of winning while boosting the Republican Party's standing in the RDC.
The "Dirty Tricks" campaign would prove to be a resounding success, aiding in the hindering of the NPP's growth and Nixon's own dominance of the RDC during his time as President.

As President, Nixon would have to deal with escalating tensions between the African Reichskommissariats ([[Reichskommissariat Zentralafrika|Zentralafrika]], [[Reichskommissariat Ostafrika|Ostafrika]] and [[Reichskommissariat Südwestafrika|Südwestafrika]]) and [[Union of South Africa|South Africa]]. The US would undergo an economic battle with the Reichskommissariats to claim economic dominance over South Africa. The tensions would soon continue to escalate, which would lead to the [[South African War]] in November of 1963.

Furthermore, Nixon would have to deal with the [[Hawaiian Missile Crisis]], involving the placement of Japanese ICBM missiles on the Hawaiian Islands. Nixon would be given recommendations to invade the islands in 1961, however, he took the advice of Vice President Kennedy and chose not to invade while allowing Kennedy to enter into negotiations with Japan. While the United States has laid claim to the islands since 1959, they remain under Japanese control.▼
While Hawaii would prove to be a big focus of the Nixon administration, the threat to the independence of the Philippines would prove to be daunting. With a Japanese presence on the island of Luzon, the Japanese sought to remove American influence from the Pacific entirely, which included the American-supported Free Philippines Republic.
