By splitting the Republican vote between Theodore Roosevelt (Bull Moose/Progressive) and incumbent William Howard Taft (Republican), the Bull Moose Party handed the election to Democrat Woodrow Wilson. Wilson won a decisive electoral-college victory despite receiving only a plurality of the popular vote; the Progressive bid also weakened Republican unity and the party’s dominance.
