Franklin D. Roosevelt

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, shortened to Franklin D. Roosevelt or simply just FDR, is an American Governor of New York and a candidate for the Democratic Party in the 1932 Presidential election. A liberal yet reformist economist, FDR has proposed economic reforms which he has entitled 'The New Deal' to bring America out of the economic crisis. Much like the other Democratic candidates, FDR has been largely sceptical of President Herbert Hoover's mishandling of the economic crisis and believes stretches need to be made for the American economy to bolster itself.

FDR is quite a keen candidate, despite some of his social views not aligning correctly with the country's. FDR has been described by many as too soft on socialism and not as isolationist as the people would want, which resulted in the loss of support from candidate Huey Long, and the initiation of his own campaign.

The New Deal, if implemented, is expected to bolster America out of the depression and back onto the world stage, if Roosevelt has the chance to implement it.
