In 1935, the United States Senate was deadlocked over the [[Costigan–Wagner Act]] (also known as the [[Anti-Lynching Bill of 1935]]); Democratic [[Senate Majority Leader]] [[Joseph T. Robinson]] forced an adjourn motion in late April which failed very narrowly, though political trading brought another motion to pass on May 1; Truman was among the votes which switched into supporting adjourning the chamber, which all but killed the Act from passing.<ref>Greenbaum, Fred (1967).
