How did Wilson become president of te US?

Woodrow Wilson became President of the United States in 1913 after winning the 1912 presidential election. He was the Democratic candidate and campaigned on a platform of progressive reforms, including tariff reduction, banking reform, and antitrust legislation. Wilson's victory was aided by the split in the Republican Party, with former President Theodore Roosevelt running as a third-party candidate, which divided the Republican vote and allowed Wilson to secure a majority in the Electoral College.
