1930 Elections

The 1930 elections in the United States were significant as they reflected shifting political sentiments during the Great Depression. During these mid-term elections, voters largely favored the Republican Party, which was in power under President Herbert Hoover, resulting in gains for Republicans in Congress. However, economic struggles and dissatisfaction with the handling of the depression also fueled gains for the Democratic Party in certain areas. These elections highlighted public concern over economic recovery and set the stage for major political changes leading up to the New Deal era.
