Although the Populists (People's Party) had electoral victories after their formation in 1892, the Democratic Party adopted similar platforms in 1896. That year, the party split over the support for Democratic presidential candidiate William Jennings Bryan. In the South , many of the populist supporters became Democrats. Although the party limped along for three more elections (1900, 1904, and 1908), it finished poorly in all three. Some Populists also joined the Socialist party.
