From March 8 to May 20, 1932, voters of the Republican Party chose its nominee for president in the 1932 United States presidential election. The nominee was selected through a series of primary elections and caucuses culminating in the 1932 Republican National Convention held from June 14 to June 16, 1932, in Chicago, Illinois.[1]
As the year 1932 began, the Republican Party believed that Herbert Hoover's protectionism and aggressive fiscal policies would solve the then-ongoing Great Depression. President Hoover controlled the party and had little trouble securing a re-nomination.
