The 1932 presidential election was significant as it marked a critical shift in American politics, with the Democratic Party, led by Franklin D. Roosevelt, appealing to a new coalition of voters, including urban workers, farmers, and minorities. This election set the stage for the New Deal and long-term changes in political alignment in the United States.
