Warren was a lifelong Democrat who cast his first vote for [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] in 1932. Formerly a segregationist, he renounced these views in the 1950s and began to advocate for African American civil rights, condemning [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]] for not taking a firmer stance on the subject. <ref>{{cite journal |url=https://www.literarymatters.org/14-1-robert-penn-warren-and-democracy |title=Robert Penn Warren and Democracy |date=2021 |journal=Literary Matters |last=Strandberg |first=Victor}}</ref>
