1916年11月7日，蒙大拿州妇女参政运动者珍妮特·兰金当选美国联邦众议员，成为美国历史上首位进入国会的女性。她在任内反对美国参加第一次世界大战，后来又成为1941年珍珠港事件后唯一投票反对对日宣战的国会议员。
1944年11月7日，富兰克林·罗斯福当选史无前例的第四个总统任期；同一天前后的这一天还见证了多次转折：1940年，华盛顿州塔科马海峡大桥在强风中坍塌；1972年，尼克松在这一天赢得连任；2000年，布什与戈尔的大选之夜在这一天以「票数过于接近、无法判定」收场，希拉里·克林顿则在同日当选纽约州联邦参议员，成为首位当选公职的前第一夫人。

On This Day: November 7, Rankin Becomes the First Woman in Congress and Roosevelt Wins a Fourth Term
On November 7, 1916, Montana suffragist Jeannette Rankin was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, the first woman in the nation's history to win a seat in Congress. She went on to oppose U.S. entry into World War I and, in 1941, cast the lone vote against declaring war on Japan.
On November 7, 1944, Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected to an unprecedented fourth term. The date is crowded with turning points: the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapsed in high winds in 1940; Richard Nixon won re-election in 1972; and on election night in 2000 the Bush-Gore race was deemed too close to call, while Hillary Clinton was elected to the U.S. Senate from New York, the first former first lady elected to public office.
On November 7, 1991, Lakers star Magic Johnson stunned the sports world by announcing he was HIV-positive and retiring immediately.
