Democrats Control Both Branches of Congress in 1940 Results
The next congress will be fully Democratic with a strong house majority and a comfortable senate margin. Roosevelt’s program should gain momentum as key Republican incumbents exit or are defeated, including Bingham Smoot Glenn Watson and others. Roosevelt leads Michigan narrowly, McNutt wins governor, and Democrats sweep several states with large margins. Gardner and Garner win seats as political realignments take shape.
