Viva Kennedy clubs were formed during the 1960 United States Presidential election campaign by Latino supporters of John F. Kennedy and his running mate Lyndon B. Johnson. The Viva Kennedy clubs began in Texas as civil-rights forums for Mexican-American veterans to rally support for equal rights, and eventually spread to swing states with large Latino populations like Arizona, California, and Illinois. While one of the primary goals of the clubs was the election of Kennedy and Johnson, they also promoted increased overall voter registration and political organization for Latinos in the United States. The clubs were technically nonpartisan, and received no financial support from the Kennedy campaign. The grassroots work of the Viva Kennedy clubs proved successful, as Kennedy received 85% of the Latino vote in the 1960 election.

John F. Kennedy first emerged in politics in 1946, when he won the U.S. Representative race for his district for the state of Massachusetts.  In 1952, he ran for the U.S. Senate, also for Massachusetts, beating the Republican candidate, Henry Cabot Lodge II.  In 1958, he won the reelection bid for his Senate seat.  The United States Presidential election of 1960 saw Kennedy as the Democratic nominee, facing Republican candidate Richard Nixon.  This was the first time the candidates' debate was aired on national television.  Kennedy appeared charismatic to many, while Nixon, just recovering from surgery, appeared pale and harsh.  Kennedy would go on to beat Nixon in one of the closest Presidential elections of the century.  By doing so, he became the youngest man to be elected President.
