Elections were held on November 3, 1936, during theGreat Depression.Democratic PresidentFranklin D. Roosevelt trounced GovernorAlf Landon ofKansas in a landslide and the Democrats built on their majorities in both chambers ofCongress.^[3]^[4]^[5]

In the presidential election, incumbent Democratic presidentFranklin D. Roosevelt won re-election, defeatingRepublican governorAlf Landon of Kansas. Roosevelt took every state but Vermont and Maine, winning with thefourth-largest electoral vote margin in American history. Roosevelt took just under 61 percent of the popular vote, a number that only Lyndon Johnson wouldsurpass (although the popular vote was not officially counted prior to the 1824 election). Landon decisively won hisparty's nomination over Idaho SenatorWilliam Borah.

The Democrats gained twelve seats in the House of Representatives, furthering their supermajority over the Republicans. The Democrats also maintained a supermajority in the Senate, gaining seven seats.^[4] These elections marked the last time in U.S. history in which any party held three-fourths of all seats in both chambers of Congress.
