Roosevelt won re-election, defeating Republican governor Alf Landon of Kansas. Roosevelt took every U.S. state with the exception of Vermont and Maine, winning with the fourth-largest electoral vote margin in American history. Roosevelt took just under 61 percent of the popular vote, a number that only Lyndon B. Johnson would surpass (although the popular vote was not officially counted prior to the 1824 election). Landon decisively won his party's nomination over Idaho Senator William 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. 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.
