The correct answer is the following.

The role of the Democrats after the New Deal was that they held the majority of the seats in Congress for many years.

After the New Deal, the Democratic Party had the majority of the seats in Congress from 1932 to 1960. Although the Democrats lost the presidency in 1952 and in 1956 (to Dwight D. Eisenhower), they were the majority in Congress. That is why Franklin D. Roosevelt could have the support of many organizations during his tenure. The Democrats were an important part of this period and when the Republican president won the election, they had to act as an accountable opposition party.
