“..... who helped propel Jimmy Carter to the White House...”
Helped, maybe a little.
But it was the LeftMedia via Watergate, one of their first forays into MAKING the news as opposed to reporting it, that had the biggest impact BY FAR in securing the election for the weak loser Jimmy Carter.
Jordan’s contribution to the ‘76 campaign was in helping Carter secure the Democratic nomination. After Ford’s truncated term (in which he pardoned Nixon) there wasn’t much doubt at all that the Dem nominee would go on to be President.
