Answer:

Franklin D. Roosevelt defeated Republican incumbent in 1932 election.

Step-by-step explanation:

The economy of United States was quite unstable due to the 'Great Depression'. Hoover was not able to contribute much from a government standpoint during this time. Many people blamed him for taking no actions to improve the condition of the country.

Roosevelt promised the people of America that he will address the problems of Depression (that had led to unemployment at its peak and economic instability). He promised the people a "New Deal". This new deal responded to needs of people who needed 'relief, reform, and recovery' from the Great Depression. He won the elections in 1932 and was elected the President of U.S.
