Woodrow Wilson won the 1912 presidential election largely due to the split in the Republican Party, which occurred when former President Theodore Roosevelt ran as a third-party candidate for the Progressive Party after losing the Republican nomination to William Howard Taft. This division allowed Wilson, the Democratic candidate, to secure a plurality of votes. Additionally, Wilson's platform of progressive reforms, known as the "New Freedom," resonated with voters seeking change, further bolstering his electoral success.
Former President Theodore Roosevelt created the Progressive Party (nicknamed the "Bull Moose Party") after he failed to receive the Republic nomination in the 1912 presidential election. Democratic Party candidate Woodrow Wilson benefitted from the 1912 split in the Republican Party. Woodrow Wilson won the 1912 presidential election defeating Progressive Party candidate Theodore Roosevelt and Republican Party candidate incumbent President William Taft. In the 1912 presidential election Woodrow Wilson received 435 electoral votes, Theodore Roosevelt received 88 electoral votes, and William Taft received 8 electoral votes. The popular vote totals were Wilson 6,293,152 (42%), Roosevelt 4,119,207 (27%), and Taft 3,483,922 (23%). Socialist Party candidate Eugene Debs received 901,551 (6%) popular votes and no electoral votes.
