During the Great Depression, the US suffered many economic problems. President Herbert Hoover did very little to fix these problems. During the 1932 election he ran against Franklin D. Roosevelt, who won by a landslide. Prior to this election, Roosevelt served as Democratic Governor of New York in 1928. He believed the the government should pursue new programs and reforms in order to help America through the Great Depression. When Roosevelt was elected, he criticized Hoovers failures and promised fast action to end the depression. Roosevelt is the best US president because of the programs that he created during his presidency to stop poverty, reduce unemployment, and to establish new laws to reform the economy.
