Answer 1

Hoover’s popularity fell farther, ultimately costing him his reelection.

His order to have the Army remove the Bonus Army veterans (using cavalry, tanks, and tear gas) outraged the public and deepened the perception that Hoover was insensitive to suffering, helping cost him the 1932 election.
