ViviIf an extremely popular candiate wins the Presidency, Congressmen who strongly support him can ride into office "on his coattails" and let his party pick up seats in Congress. The effect is more noticeable in the House, since everyone is up for election. Only 1/3 of the Senate are up for election at any one time, so it is harder to gain a large number of seats there.
