Original Item: Only One Available. This is a remarkable flag that offers a glimpse into the political atmosphere of the 1940 Presidential Election. It was likely one of many that were proudly displayed by Democrats, who were rallying behind their candidate, Franklin D. Roosevelt. The flag, despite its age, is still in impressive condition, with only minor fading and no significant damage. The striking silhouette of Roosevelt dominates the flag, with the text "Retain Roosevelt" boldly printed across it. The imagery and text, though somewhat weathered by time, are still discernible and serve as a testament to the historic political movement that swept the nation during that time.

In 1940, the United States held its 39th quadrennial presidential election. The election took place on Tuesday, November 5, 1940, and was a highly contested race between incumbent Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Republican businessman Wendell Willkie. Ultimately, Roosevelt won the election, securing an unprecedented third term in office.

The significance of Roosevelt's victory cannot be overstated. Not only did he become the first president in American history to be elected to a third term, but his win also marked the last time in which the incumbent's party won three consecutive presidential elections until 1988.

It is also interesting to note that the 1940 presidential election was the fourth instance in which both major party candidates were registered in the same home state. The other three instances were in 1860, 1904, 1920, 1944, and 2016.

A wonderful Presidential Candidate support flag that comes more than ready for further research and display.
