President Nixon did run for re-election in 1972 and won by a landslide, defeating Democratic candidate George McGovern. His campaign focused on issues like peace in Vietnam and economic stability, appealing to a broad base of voters. The election ultimately solidified Nixon's position, despite the later Watergate scandal that led to his resignation in 1974. Therefore, he did not choose not to run; he actively sought and won re-election.
