This video is the second volume in a two-part series on the life of Ronald Reagan. This episode explores Reagan's political career. After becoming a staunch Republican, Reagan was elected governor of California in 1966. His political fortunes led him to the White House, where he took office as President of the United States in 1980, and was re-elected in 1984. The documentary covers the events and legacy of his administration with archival film footage, as well as interviews with family, friends, and colleagues. With his wife Nancy Reagan ever by his side, Reagan enjoyed great popularity as one of America's most likeable presidents. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, Rovi
