The late McCloskey mounted an earnest (but ultimately half-hearted) challenge to Nixon's bid for his second-term Republican Presidential nomination in 1972...but one of several remarkable aspects of McCloskey's long tenure as a U.S. Representative from California.
Another notable career point, post-Congress (and post-GOP), was that he cast one of The Golden State's votes in The Electoral College for the Biden/Harris slate in 2020.
Though I closely followed his 1972 Republican nomination challenge, it wasn't until McCloskey's sit-down session with Tom Snyder on NBC's "Tomorrow" show in 1974 that this bipartisan centrist became a longtime admirer of the ever-genial pol.
