What if Gore Vidal was not elected to the House of Representatives in 1960? Would he abandon any political aspirations altogether, or perhaps run for that seat again in 1962? Perhaps he would seek some other office?
This could have butterflies, as there were rumors that Robert Kennedy, after resigning as Attorney General, planned to run for the Senate seat in New York that Vidal won in 1964. RFK successfully ran for Mayor of New York City the next year instead.
