The Democrats lost twenty-eight seats to the Republican Party in the House of Representatives. The Democrats also lost five seats in the U.S. Senate to the Republicans. Congressman and member of the American Labor Party Vito Marcantonio’s defeat left third parties without representation in Congress for the first time since 1908.
