Summary
Theodore Roosevelt's disenchantment with President Taft, his hand-picked successor in 1908, encouraged him to run against the Republican leader in 1912. Unable to secure the Republican Party nomination, Roosevelt (referred to as TR) and his supporters formed the Progressive Party. The popular ex-president garnered 27 percent of the vote (more than Taft), but both lost to the Democrat Woodrow Wilson.
