After having served as the 25th US Vice President and the 26th US President, Theodore Roosevelt hit the campaign trail again and formed the Progressive Party which he termed the "Bull Moose Party" for a run in the 1912 election.

While campaigning in Milwauukee, Wisconsin, Roosevelt was shot in the chest on 14 October 1912 by John Schrank. The bullet failed to penetrate a vital organ.

The incumbent Republican President William Howard Taft won only 2 states and 8 electoral votes. Theodore Roosevelt won in 6 states and gained 88 electoral votes. Democratic challenger Woodrow Wilson carried 40 states and 435 electoral votes to become the 28th US President.
