Once nominated Kennedy distanced himself from Sinatra and they never went cruising In January 1961 Sinatra and Peter Lawford organized the Inaugural Gala in Washington, DC, held on the evening before President Kennedy was sworn into office. The event, featuring many notable entertainment figures, was an enormous success, raising a large amount of money for the Democratic Party. However, Sinatra and Kennedy's friendship started unraveling after Kennedy was sworn in and began cutting ties with Mafia-affiliated Sinatra. Though they reconciled at one point, Kennedy was still wary of the political damage he would get by keeping ties with Sinatra, who still maintained affiliations with the Mafia and never shook off rumors of it. 332:, Sinatra supported Ronald Reagan and donated $ 4 million to Reagan's campaign. He sponsored the initial fundraising campaign in the northeast, raising over $ 250,000 in Boston. Sinatra referred to Reagan as "the proper man to be the President of the United States ... it's so screwed up now, we need someone to straighten it out."

247:; Sinatra, however, remained a registered Democrat and encouraged Reagan to become more moderate. In July 1972, after a lifetime of supporting Democratic presidential candidates, Sinatra announced he could not support the left-ward turn of the party and its candidate, George McGovern, and would therefore support Republican U.S. President 255:. His switch to the Republican Party was now official; he even told his daughter, Tina, who had actively campaigned for McGovern, "the older you get, the more conservative you get."
