The newly founded Progressive Party chose Roosevelt in 1912 as its presidential candidate. Roosevelt could not redeem the election (Woodrow Wilson won), but still finished second, ahead of Taft. In 1914, the Progressive Party only achieved a few election profits. The party was abolished in 1916 and two years later the elected members rejoined the Republicans.
