Lead implicitly offered by Roosevelt? (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

new deal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'offered by roosevelt?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'lead implicitly' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'lead' is 'deal' which is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'new' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for new deal that I've seen before include "that follows shuffle" , "President Franklin D Roosevelt's economic policy from 1933" , "FDR's anti-Depression policy" , "Economic policy of F. D. Roosevelt" , "Political recovery plan" .)
