National Whirligig on FDR reelection odds and reform end
The piece surveys a Democratic forecast dubbed the Miracle map showing Roosevelt winning 26 states for 267 electoral votes but omitting key states like New York and Ohio. It notes a shift in policy debates in Congress including a neutral stance on military education and a sense that the era of reform has ended on Capitol Hill as the New Deal braces for November voters. It discusses labor, automation, and economic recovery, with commentary from AFL leaders and manufacturers on machines, unemployment, and wage ideas.
