William Jennings Bryan ran on issues such as bimetallism, advocating for the free coinage of silver to increase the money supply and support struggling farmers and workers. He aimed to address economic inequality and challenge the power of industrialists and bankers. After his defeat in the 1896 presidential election, the Democratic Party struggled to maintain a cohesive identity, as it became divided between traditional conservative factions and the more progressive, populist elements represented by Bryan. This split weakened the party's influence for several years, leading to a period of Republican dominance in national politics.
