The 1912 election of Theodore Roosevelt.
Because all three major candidates were Progressive, Progressive votes were split.
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.
