Yes. He ran as an independent in 1912 and cost the Republicans the election more than likely. He and Taft together won substantially more votes than the Democratic winner, Wilson.

Who was the spoiler in the election of 1912 going against Woodrow Wilson?
Theodore Roosevelt
What is a spoiler in a presidential election?
The spoiler is a political candidate (sometimes of a third party) who has little to no chance of winning an election but can still decide the fate of an election by taking votes away from other candidates.
Who was an example of a third-party candidate playing the role of spoiler' in an election?
The best example of a spoiler was in 1912 when former Republican president, Theodore Roosevelt ran as a third party candidate. He and Taft together got more than enough votes to beat the Democrat Wilson but by the splitting the votes they gave Wilson the win.
Who are the candidates for presidential election of 1912?
In my the back of my history book it list 5 candidates fro presidency. First of COURSE Woodrow Wilson (D), Theodore Roosevelt (progressive), William Taft (R), Eugene Debs (socialist), and Eugene Chafin (Prohibition). I took this from the chart in the back of the 5th edition of Nation of Nations for History 109.
An example of a third-party candidate playing the role of spoiler in an election?
Third party "spoilers", those who by running serve only to take votes away from one of the major party candidates, include Ross Perot in 1992 and Theodore Roosevelt in 1912. Roosevelt had been good friends with President Taft, but they had a falling out before the election of 1912. That was the only U. S. Presidential election in which the incumbent president finished in third place. In 1992, Arkansas and D.C. were the only "states" in which at least 50% of the voters voted for the same ticket (Clinton/Gore). (Arkansas is Bill Clinton's home state, and D.C. always votes strongly Democratic.)
In 1912 the Republican Party split and the result was the Progressive Party that played this role in the election?
