On September 26, 1960, John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Richard Milhous Nixon participated in the first-ever televised presidential debate between candidates in the United States, held at the CBS studio in Chicago. Approximately 70 million TV viewers (about two-thirds of the US adult population at the time) tuned in. Kennedy appeared relaxed and even cheerful on camera, while Nixon seemed slightly fatigued. Nixon's structured yet conservative delivery indirectly helped Kennedy win by a narrow margin. This event also marked the beginning of television's role as a significant political propaganda tool, changing the future of campaigning.
