Nixon not wanting his GOP allies distracted by a nasty du Pont-Haskell primary during his presidential re-election year is the only reason that anybody knows who Joe Biden is today, a half-century & 9 presidents later.

John Fetterman won his first election as Mayor of Braddock in 2005 by 1 vote.

To be fair, that’s probably like 10% of the electorate in Braddock.

149-148, a 0.3367% margin-of-victory, greater than WA-GOV 2004, NC-SCCJ 2020, FL-PRES 2000, AZ-AG 2022, MN-SEN 2008, VA-AG 2005, OH-AG 1990, VA-AG 2013, NM-PRES 2000, NC-AgComm 2004, FL-AgComm 2018, ND-SEN 1974, NJ-GOV 1981, WA-SEN 2000, NV-SEN 1998, & pretty much any other "close" election result which you can otherwise think of.
