The Bull Moose Party, officially known as the Progressive Party, was founded by former President Theodore Roosevelt in 1912 after he lost the Republican nomination. Roosevelt ran as its presidential candidate that year, advocating for progressive reforms such as women's suffrage, labor rights, and environmental conservation. His candidacy split the Republican vote, ultimately leading to the election of Democrat Woodrow Wilson.
The Progressive Bull Moose Party effectively dissolved after the 1912 presidential election, in which Theodore Roosevelt ran as its candidate. Although he garnered a significant share of the vote, he lost to Democrat Woodrow Wilson. Following this defeat, the party struggled to maintain cohesion and influence, and many of its members eventually returned to the Republican Party or aligned with other political movements. By the mid-1910s, the Bull Moose Party had largely faded from the political landscape.
