The correct answer is A)The New Deal still influences American life today.
Indeed, the New Deal has had an everlasting influence in American politics since its inception. After President Roosevelt died, Truman, Eisenhower and Lyndon B. Johnson continued its policies and even expanded them, especially to minorities. The New Deal ensured Democratic dominance in American politics for 60 years until 1980 when Reagan repealed most of its policies.
However, despite Republican dominance and Democratic tepidness about it, the New Deal remains highly popular among Americans, Medicare and Medicaid are an example of such programs that enjoy public approval across the political spectrum. The New Deal is cited or alluded to by many politicians, even Donald Trump spoke about a gigantic federal program of investments in public infrastructure to create jobs, - a New Deal policy – when he was a candidate. Lately, Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been fervent proponents of such policies.
