WI: Roosevelt without Polio

I'm not sure if I've ever seen this one attempted though please signpost me if it has.

As the above says - FDR doesn't contract Polio and doesn't end up in a wheelchair. How would this affect his political career going forward?

It would kill it. He was involved in a scandal about that time, which his opponents backed off of, because 'why kick a man when he's down'. If he stays active or even potentially active, he'll get driven out of politics.
