Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Theodore Roosevelt, running as the candidate for the Progressive Party (also known as the Bull Moose Party), earned more popular votes than William Howard Taft, the Republican candidate in the 1912 presidential election. This was a significant achievement for a third-party candidate, especially given that Roosevelt was a former Republican president himself. The Democratic nominee, Woodrow Wilson, ultimately won the election.
