In the 1932 presidential election, Johnson broke with President Hoover, and was one of the most prominent Republicans supporting Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt. During Roosevelt's first term, Johnson supported the president's New Deal economic recovery package and frequently crossed the floor to aid the Democrats. He endorsed FDR in the 1936 presidential election as well, though he never switched party affiliation. Johnson became disenchanted with Roosevelt and the New Deal following FDR's unsuccessful attempt to increase the size of the Supreme Court.
