The Populist Party supported William Jennings Bryan in the 1896 presidential election because he championed key issues that resonated with their platform, particularly the advocacy for bimetallism to increase the money supply and support for farmers. Bryan's focus on the struggles of the working class and his famous "Cross of Gold" speech aligned with the Populists' goals of economic reform and social justice. Additionally, they saw an opportunity to unite with the Democratic Party to strengthen their political influence against the prevailing Republican dominance.
