Resultados de las elecciones: demócrata gana posición demócrata o reelegido republicano gana posición republicana o reelegido progresista reelegido Sin elección | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Aunque Roosevelt fue reelegido, el apoyo a su administración había caído un poco después de ocho años, y la oposición republicana ganó tres escaños de los demócratas . Sin embargo, los demócratas del New Deal recuperaron el control firme tanto de la Cámara como del Senado porque los progresistas dominaron las elecciones. [2] El Partido Laborista-Campesino de Minnesota también desapareció del Senado, ya que Henrik Shipstead se unió al Partido Republicano y Ernest Lundeen había muerto durante el período anterior. El senador Harry S. Truman de Missouri fue elegido para su mandato final en el Senado en 1940. Truman dimitió en 1945 para ocupar el cargo de tercer vicepresidente del presidente Roosevelt .
Ganancias y pérdidas
Los republicanos obtuvieron una ganancia neta de tres escaños en las elecciones regulares, más uno más en las elecciones especiales de noviembre.
Cuatro avances republicanos provienen de victorias sobre demócratas:
- Indiana : El demócrata Sherman Minton perdió por un estrecho margen ante el republicano Raymond E. Willis .
- Nebraska : El demócrata de primer mandato Edward R. Burke perdió el nombramiento ante Robert LeRoy Cochran , quien luego perdió las elecciones regulares ante el republicano Hugh Butler .
- Ohio : El demócrata A. Victor Donahey por su primer mandato se retiró y fue reemplazado por el republicano Harold H. Burton .
- Illinois (Especial) : El candidato demócrata interino James M. Slattery perdió ante el republicano C. Wayland Brooks .
Los republicanos ganaron un escaño de Farmer-Labor cuando un titular cambió de partido:
- Minnesota : El agricultor laborista de tres mandatos Henrik Shipstead fue reelegido, pero cambió de partido a republicano.
Los demócratas ganaron un escaño de un republicano:
- Delaware : El republicano de dos mandatos John G. Townsend Jr. perdió ante el demócrata James M. Tunnell .
