Lending Program Killed by Congress Coalition
The House coalition of Republicans and conservative Democrats killed Roosevelt’s multi billion lending program. The defeat marks a crushing setback for the New Deal in this session.

Public sentiment shows the presidency weakened but voters gain confidence that no single leader can override determined opposition in Congress.
