According to the passage, Johnson's pursuit of the Kennedy goals and policies ----.
When Lyndon Johnson assumed the presidency, after the
assassination of John F. Kennedy, in November of 1963,
he knew that in order to accrue political capital he would
initially need to champion goals and policies that Kennedy
had already been pursuing. Not long before his death
Kennedy had scrawled the word "poverty" on a piece of
paper and circled it multiple times; this note fell into the
hands of his brother Robert and became a symbolic
justification for Johnson's declaration of the War on
Poverty, early in 1964. Similarly, many of the things that
Johnson pushed through Congress in his first two years as
President, can readily be seen as extensions of the
avowed policies of the Kennedy Administration. The
details might have been different, but historians generally
agree that if Kennedy had lived out his first term and won
a second, America would have witnessed something
similar to the early years of Johnson's Great Society. On
foreign policy, too, Johnson at first strove consciously to
follow his predecessor. And some historians have argued
that in this realm as well, Johnson indeed pursued a
course that Kennedy had already introduced. If Kennedy
had lived, according to this line of thinking, he would have
continued a policy of antagonism towards Cuba and
steady escalation of US involvement in Vietnam. Johnson
certainly believed that this was what Kennedy intended to
do.
