*Informed of Eisenhower's intent to run in 1960, Nixon left to run for CA Governor against Pat Brown. He lost, and effectively ended his political career. Cabot Lodge was selected to replace him because of his credentials, but did not want to run for president in 1964.

This is actually quite interesting. Eisenhower would likely win a third term in 1960 and would retire in 1964. I'm not sure who would be President after e but I bet that the would be a very conservative Democratic president sometime after Eisenhower, not sure who exactly. This is very interesting though as this TL in many ways could be very different from our own. Who knows what would happen with civil rights. Would Eisenhower draft it and maybe would he be assassinated similar to Kennedy. Or would this never happen until later in the 1960s, or even in the 1970s.
