The correct answer is "McCarthy and Kennedy ran for the Democratic candidacy for president."
Senator Eugene McCarthy became a main figure in the anti/war movement. When he announced his candidacy, he was supported by celebrities like actors Paul Newman and Tony Randall. Even though there was little chance of him winning the nomination, his efforts eventually divided the Democratic Party regarding their position in the Vietnam War. This would lead to President Johnson to not stand for re-election.
