Roosevelt's popularity allowed his Democratic Party to gain a total of twenty seats from the Republican and minor parties, cementing the Democratic majority. Also, Americans rallied behind allied success in World War II, and in turn voted favorably for the administration's course of action.
As of 2018, this is the last time the House of Representatives was made up of four parties.
Twelve special elections were held, sorted by election date.
