Question

3-4 sentences

Answer 1

H. Ross Perot's presence as a third-party candidate in the 1992 election had a significant impact on the outcome. He garnered nearly 19% of the popular vote, mostly drawing support from disillusioned voters who were dissatisfied with the two major party candidates - George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. Perot's strong showing likely siphoned votes away from Bush, ultimately contributing to Clinton's victory in the election.
