Line 1: − In the '''midterm elections of 1942''' the [[Republican Party]] gained 45 seats in the [[U.S. House of Representatives]] and nine seats in the [[U.S. Senate]] from the [[Democratic Party]]. Democrats still retained a narrow 222-209 seat majority in the House and a 57-38 seat majority in the Senate.+ − − During the mist of [[World War II]], President [[Franklin Roosevelt]] called for "an end to politics" <ref>http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G2-3468301531.html</ref> as he switched leadership roles from a domestic policy President to a wartime President. However, the nation had yet to fully recover from the [[Great Depression]], [[unemployment]] and [[inflation]] remained high. Disgruntlement over the attack of [[Pearl Harbor]] and conditions of wartime led to big Republican gains. [[Thomas Dewey]] won the governorship of [[New York]] and emerged as the Republican nominee for President in 1944 and 1948. − − ==References== − {{reflist}} − − [[category:Politics]] − [[category:Republican Party]] − [[category:Democratic Party]]
