Encyclopedia
Elections to the United States House of Representatives
for the 80th United States Congress
took place in 1946. These midterm election
s occurred in the middle of President
Harry S. Truman's
first term.
Truman was Vice President under President Franklin D. Roosevelt
and was thrust into the presidency following Roosevelt's death. Truman did not garner the same support as the deceased president. Democrats had controlled Congress since 1933, for 14 years, and Roosevelt had been elected to a record four terms in office. In the 1946 election, the election resulted in a Republican
picked up 55 seats and won a majority. Joseph William Martin, Jr.
, Republican of Massachusetts
, became Speaker of the House
, exchanging places with Sam Rayburn
, Democrat of Texas
, who became the new Minority Leader
. The Democratic defeat was the largest since they were trounced in the 1928 pro-Republican wave that brought Herbert Hoover
to power. The Chicago Tribune
hailed the election as "the greatest Republican victory since Appomattox."
The vote was largely seen as a referendum on Truman, whose approval rating had sunk to 32 percent over the president's controversial handling of a wave of post-war labor strikes, including a United Auto Workers
strike against Ford
and General Motors
in 1945, a United Mine Workers
strike starting in April 1946, and a national railroad worker strike that began in May. Further, the back-and-forth over whether to end unpopular wartime price controls
to handle shortages, particularly in meat and other foodstuffs. While Truman's early months in the White House had been plagued with questions of "What would Roosevelt do if he were alive?" Republicans now began to joke "What would Truman do if he were alive?" and "To err is Truman." The president's lack of popular support is widely seen as the reason for the Democrats' congressional defeat. For the first time since before the Great Depression
, Republicans were seen as the party which could best handle the American economy.
Notable freshmen included future Presidents (and presidential election opponents) John F. Kennedy
of Massachusetts
and Richard M. Nixon of California
, as well as many other veterans of World War II
