History

Historical Context

In 1912 Theodore Roosevelt, angry with President William Howard Taft, broke from the Republicans and created the Progressive, or “Bull Moose,” Party, nominating himself at a Chicago convention attended by over 2,000 delegates. His third-party campaign split the vote and helped Woodrow Wilson win, illustrating how former presidents can alter electoral dynamics—a pattern invoked as Donald Trump considers a 2028 run.
