Eugene McCarthy was on Lyndon B. Johnson's shortlist for VP in 1964. What if he had chosen him, instead of Hubert Humphrey?
Based on https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/eugene-mccarthy-1968.306221/#post-8726949, a guess of mine is that he would never have become anti-war, in this timeline, because, otherwise, he would have been shut out of the government's decisions, like Humphrey was, in our timeline, until he gave in to Johnson's demands.
