Although 1936 is typically seen as the end of Maine's status as a national bellwether, White's narrow victory in strongly Republican Maine may have been a portent of doom for Alf Landon's fall presidential campaign, in which he carried only Maine and nearby Vermont.
Senator White was unopposed for re-nomination.
