The correct response is: **The Democrats won the presidency due to the split in the Republican Party.** Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic candidate, won the election, primarily benefiting from the division in the Republican vote between incumbent William Howard Taft and former President Theodore Roosevelt, who ran as a third-party candidate for the Progressive Party.
