Hiram Warren Johnson (September 2, 1866 – August 6, 1945) was a progressive Republican from California who served as the state's governor and U.S. senator from the 1910s to the 1940s. He was known for being mostly liberal though was an isolationist who opposed much of the globalist agenda in his time.[1]
U.S. Senate
During the presidency of liberal Democrat Woodrow Wilson, Johnson countered and helped defeat the League of Nations proposal.[2] He also opposed the U.S. adhering to the Treaty of Versailles.[3]
Johnson generally opposed the conservative wing of the GOP on domestic issues and supported some New Deal programs.[2][3] He even endorsed Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1932 and 1936 presidential elections, though opposed FDR's 1940 campaign. Despite his support for Roosevelt's agenda on domestic matters, Johnson opposed the internationalist agenda of the administration and voted against the U.S. joining the United Nations.[2]
Johnson died in office on August 6, 1945 and was succeeded by the more conservative William Fife Knowland.
