He had his First Democrat in his Family

FDR was the first member of his family to identify as a Democrat while coming from a long history of politicians. The majority of the Roosevelts, including Theodore, were Republicans before FDR. In actuality, FDR's choice to identify as a Democrat aided the start of his political career. He was mostly chosen because of his last name when he initially campaigned for the New York State Senate on the Democratic ballot. Since 1856, no one democrat had been elected to office in Dutchess County, where he was running. Many people at the time still had fond memories of and high regard for Theodore Roosevelt. Therefore, the Democratic Party in the area decided that, with esteem for Theodore still so strong, the people may just decide to elect a Democrat again if that Democrat had the Roosevelt name.

Despite one son passing from infancy, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt had five sons and a girl. FDR was so preoccupied with his work that he did not devote much time to parenting his children. But he also thought that his wife's (or the family nanny's) role was to raise the kids. His youngest child, John, was in his late teens, and his eldest child, Anna, was in her late twenties when FDR took office in 1933. While he was President, the kids nevertheless had a significant impact on his life, providing him with emotional support, taking care of his physical requirements as a polio victim, and, in some circumstances, assisting him in carrying out his daily responsibilities as the head of the US government.
