The Bull Moose Party, officially known as the Progressive Party, was founded by former President Theodore Roosevelt in 1912 after he lost the Republican nomination. Roosevelt ran as its presidential candidate that year, advocating for progressive reforms such as women's suffrage, labor rights, and environmental conservation. His candidacy split the Republican vote, ultimately leading to the election of Democrat Woodrow Wilson.
