The Progressive Party
He was a member of the Republican Party until the 1912 election, when he ran in his own party, the Progressive Party or Bull Moose Party.
The election of 1912 created a split within the Republican party with the formation of the Progressive party.
In the presidential election of 1912, progressive politicians were given a platform to advocate for reforms such as women's suffrage, workers' rights, and income tax. This election marked a significant shift in American politics as the progressive movement gained momentum and challenged the established political parties. The election ultimately led to the formation of the Progressive Party, also known as the Bull Moose Party, by former President Theodore Roosevelt, who campaigned on a platform of progressive policies.
The Progressive Party was a party created by Theodore Roosevelt in 1912. When he didn't receive the support of the Republican party for the presidential election, and William Taft was supported instead, Roosevelt formed his own party, the Progressive Party. It was mostly made up of Republicans who supported Roosevelt over Taft.
The third party progressive party gave the election to the Democrat, Woodrow Wilson. Theodore Roosevelt, former Republican president, ran on the Progressive ticket ( also known as the Bull Moose party). Added together he and Taft, the Republican candidate got enough votes to win, but Wilson got more votes than either one of them separately.
The split in the Republican Party in the 1912 Presidential Election, Teddy Roosevelt starting the Progressive Party, and the eventual election of Woodrow Wilson due to the 3 way split in 1912.
