A Democrat, he was elected at age 29 in November 1934, but because a Senator is constitutionally required to be at least 30 years old, he could not take his seat in January 1935 and had to wait until after his next birthday, in June 1935. At the time of his election, he supported President Franklin D. Roosevelt and had the backing of the United Mine Workers; however, after he was in office, he seemed to change his political stance, becoming a critic of the New Deal and losing the support of the United Mine Workers.
