Woodrow Wilson's presidential win in 1912 set a precedent by demonstrating the effectiveness of a strong third-party challenge, as the split in the Republican vote between incumbent William Howard Taft and Theodore Roosevelt allowed Wilson, a Democrat, to secure the presidency with a minority of the popular vote. His victory emphasized the importance of progressive reforms and the potential for a candidate to mobilize support around a clear platform, which influenced future electoral strategies. Additionally, Wilson's presidency marked the first time a Democrat had held the office since the Civil War, reshaping the political landscape for years to come.
