ON THIS DATE: In 1932, during the Great Depression, Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt easily defeated incumbent Republican Herbert Hoover to win the presidency of the U.S. In 1960, Democratic politician John F. Kennedy was narrowly elected president of the U.S. In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed a tax bill that included a rider allowing the National Football League to merge with the American Football League, thus preventing legal challenges involving antitrust issues. In 1972, the cable television company HBO officially debuted as it aired the 1971 film “Sometimes a Great Notion,” which starred Paul Newman. In 1978, illustrator Norman Rockwell, best known for his covers of “The Saturday Evening Post,” died. In 1994, in the U.S. midterm elections, the Republicans won control of the House of Representatives and the Senate for the first time in 40 years; the sweeping victory was partly because of President Bill Clinton’s low popularity at the time. In 2013, the Philippines endured what many consider its worst natural disaster when the country was struck by Super Typhoon Haiyan, one of the most powerful cyclones ever recorded to strike land. In 2016, despite trailing in most polls, Republican Donald Trump was elected the 45th president of the U.S., though is opponent Hillary Clinton, won the popular vote by more than 2.8 million. In 2020, Canadian-born television personality Alex Trebek, who was best known as the host of the TV game show “Jeopardy!”, died at age 80.
