United States elections, 1938

The 1938 United States midterm elections were held on November 8, 1938. Incumbent President of the United States Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Democratic Party lost 72 seats, mostly to the Republican Party, in the House of Representatives. The Democrats also lost seven seats to the Republicans in the U.S. Senate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://clerk.house.gov/member_info/electionInfo/1938election.pdf )〕 This election marked the first time since the Civil War that the six-year itch phenomenon did not result in the President's party losing control of either house, as the Democrats still maintained majorities in both houses of Congress.
The election was a defeat for Roosevelt, as the conservative coalition (an alliance of Republicans and Southern Democrats) took control of Congress and stymied Roosevelt's domestic agenda. Roosevelt had campaigned openly against members of his own party who had not supported the New Deal, but Roosevelt's preferred candidates met with little success across the country. The election took place in the aftermath of recession of 1937–38 and the defeat of the Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937 ("the court-packing plan"), and President Roosevelt was at the nadir of the his popularity. Republicans picked up Congressional seats for the first time since the start of the Great Depression, and few new major domestic programs became law until the advent of the Great Society in the 1960s.
