In 1939, Wendell Willkie changed his party registration from Democrat to Republican. This was a major change for Willkie, who had been a Democrat since the 1920s. However, he was unhappy with the direction the Democratic Party was taking under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and he believed that the Republicans were better positioned to lead the country out of the Great Depression.
