What was the outcome of Richard Nixon’s “Checkers” speech?

Richard Nixon delivered the “Checkers” speech in 1952 when he was Dwight D. Eisenhower’s vice-presidential running mate to address corruption charges. In the speech Nixon outlined his family finances in detail and staunchly denied any wrongdoing on his part. He did tell the nation, however, that the family was keeping a dog—named Checkers by one of his daughters—that had been given to them by a supporter.
