The 1932 United States elections were held on November 8, during the

realigning election, and the newly established Democratic New Deal coalition experienced much more success than their predecessors had in the Fourth Party System.^[4]

1916. Roosevelt took his party's nomination on the fourth ballot, defeating 1928 nominee Al Smith and Speaker of the House John Nance Garner

.

In addition to Hoover's defeat, the Republicans also suffered crushing defeats in both congressional chambers: they lost 101 seats in the House of Representatives, with the Democrats expanding their House majority to a supermajority, and also lost twelve seats in the Senate,

1918.^[5] This would be the last time that an incumbent president lost re-election and his party lost control of both chambers of Congress in a single term until 2020.^[6]^[7]

The election took place after the 1930 United States census and the subsequent congressional re-apportionment. The Reapportionment Act of 1929 provided a permanent method of apportioning 435 House seats; previously, Congress had had to pass apportionment legislation after each census.
