Kennedy Jr. appears likely to affect that outcome.<\/p>\n<p>Barring something unforeseen, voters will have nearly a year \u200bto \u2062reflect on those two facts. For present purposes, they serve as starting points for analyzing the impact of third-party and independent candidates on two significant U.S. presidential elections.<\/p>\n<p>Before proceeding, I should establish criteria for choosing these two elections.<\/p>\n<p>By \u201csignificant\u201d I mean elections that shaped the country\u2019s future to such an extent that it would be impossible to\u2064 imagine U.S. history unfolding the way it did were it not \u2063for that particular election\u2019s outcome. On some level, of course, this criterion applies to all historical events. The key here is the phrase \u201cto such \u200ban extent.\u201d Events of unusual significance had to have occurred because of that election.<\/p>\n<p>By \u201cimpact\u201d I mean third-party\/independent candidates whose mere presence on the ballot demonstrably altered the election\u2019s outcome.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the candidate\u2019s share of\u200d the overall vote did \u200cnot itself signal that the election met these parameters.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.presidency.ucsb.edu\/statistics\/elections\/1992\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1992<\/a> presidential election, independent candidate H. Ross Perot garnered 18.9 \u200dpercent of the popular vote. Had those votes gone to Republican \u2064President George H.W. Bush instead of Perot, then the incumbent unquestionably would have defeated Democrat \u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-bidenomics-mortgage-rates-soar-highest-level-since-bill-clinton-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bill\u2064 Clinton<\/a>, who scored a 370-168 Electoral College landslide despite winning \u2064only 43 percent of the popular vote.<\/p>\n<p>The problem, however, is twofold. First, \u200bI cannot\u2062 predict \u200cwith reasonable certainty that Perot\u2019s\u2063 votes would have gone to Bush. Second \u2014 and far more important \u2014 I cannot say that events of \u2063transcendent significance \u200chung in the balance.<\/p>\n<p>A Bush victory, of course, would \u200bhave spared us the Clintons, both Bill and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/hillary-clinton-goes-off-rails-view-compares-trump-hitler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hillary<\/a>. That certainly qualifies as\u2062 something. Likewise, to a certain extent, we\u2062 might trace the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/70-republicans-reward-weaponized-fbi-300m-gift-names\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">weaponization<\/a> of federal \u200cagencies to \u2063the Clinton \u200byears. That also \u200dqualifies\u200b as something.<\/p>\n<p>On balance, however \u2014 in light of what we now know \u2014 I cannot speculate on how a second Bush term might have played out during the relatively serene 1990s. This, coupled with uncertainty\u200d about Perot\u2019s impact, persuaded me to exclude the 1992 election.<\/p>\n<p>The same holds true for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.presidency.ucsb.edu\/statistics\/elections\/1968\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1968<\/a> election, albeit for somewhat different reasons.<\/p>\n<p>In that year, \u200cAmerican\u2063 Independent Party candidate George Wallace, who earned notoriety as Alabama\u2019s staunch segregationist governor, won only 13.5 percent \u200bof the popular vote but nonetheless managed to secure 45 combined electoral votes from five Southern states: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/georgia-prosecutor-offering-plea-deals-trump-co-defendants-bag-real-target-experts-say\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Georgia<\/a>, Alabama,\u2062 Mississippi, Arkansas \u2063and Louisiana.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile,\u200c Republican \u200dRichard Nixon earned a comfortable \u2062301 electoral votes but outpaced Democrat Hubert Humphrey by only 510,000 popular votes nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>As with Perot, Wallace\u2019s presence made a difference, but it is not clear to whom. After all, Humphrey won Texas, but Nixon won Florida, South Carolina,\u200d North \u200dCarolina, Tennessee \u200dand Virginia. That was the rest of the former Confederacy. Thus, we \u2062cannot say that Wallace altered the election\u2019s probable \u2063outcome.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, to keep things manageable, I have excluded the \u200bmost obvious example of all: the presidential election of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.presidency.ucsb.edu\/statistics\/elections\/1860\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1860<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In short, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/op-ed-trump-follow-example-lincoln-declare-day-fast-pray-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Abraham Lincoln\u2019s<\/a> election to\u2063 the \u200dpresidency represents too\u200d much of an outlier. Democrat Stephen A. Douglas, Southern Democrat \u200cJohn Breckenridge and Constitutional Union candidate John Bell split the anti-Lincoln vote three ways. Meanwhile, Democrats in the slaveholding South kept Lincoln <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/last-time-democrats-took-gop-presidential-nominee-off-ballot-1860\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">off the ballot<\/a> altogether. And Lincoln\u2019s victory, \u200dof course, triggered both secession and the Civil War. \u2062In a few paragraphs, it is simply impossible to\u2064 trace the consequences of the most consequential election in U.S. history.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, I have settled on\u200c two presidential\u200c elections. In each case, a third-party or independent candidate played a decisive role. And in each case the \u200doutcome\u2019s effect on subsequent U.S. history \u2014 though falling short of 1860\u2019s \u2014 proved nearly incalculable.<\/p>\n<h3>1912 Presidential Election<\/h3>\n<p>After serving nearly two full terms (1901-09) \u2014 including what\u2062 would have been assassinated \u200cPresident William McKinley\u2019s second term (1901-05) \u2014 Republican Theodore Roosevelt stepped aside in 1908, paving the way for his secretary of war, William Howard Taft, who comfortably defeated Democrat William Jennings Bryan in the Electoral College, 321-162, while securing nearly 52 percent of the popular vote.<\/p>\n<p>Four years later, however \u2014 for reasons both personal and ideological \u2014\u200b Roosevelt challenged his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/xi-jinpings-disappearing-acts-leave-no-doubt-hes-a-dictator\/\" title=\"Xi Jinping's actions clearly demonstrate his dictatorial nature.\">hand-picked successor<\/a>. When the incumbent \u200bTaft won the Republican nomination in 1912, \u200cRoosevelt \u2063decided to run as the nominee of\u200c the new\u2064 Progressive Party.<\/p>\n<p>In short, Roosevelt\u2019s candidacy plunged <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/mayorkas-impeachment-measure-fails-8-house-republicans-side-democrats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Republicans<\/a> into a virtual civil war. As a result,\u200c Democrat Woodrow Wilson won the presidency in 1912 with a massive 435-88 Electoral College victory over Roosevelt. Taft placed third\u2062 with only Utah\u2019s 8 electoral votes.<\/p>\n<p>The devil, however, \u200clay in \u200bthe \u2062details.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, compared with 1908, the Democratic candidate actually lost votes (6.4 million for Bryan to 6.29 million for Wilson). Meanwhile, the combined Roosevelt and Taft popular\u2063 vote totals from 1912 nearly matched the total Taft alone earned in 1908 (7.6 \u2064million to 7.68 million). It would be difficult\u200c to demonstrate \u2064Roosevelt\u2019s decisive effect more clearly than this.<\/p>\n<p>Roosevelt\u2019s candidacy thus guaranteed a Wilson presidency.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in\u200b 1914, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/charles-iii-spotted-wearing-woke-symbol-alongside-remembrance-poppy-king-made-absolutely-terrible-mistake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">World\u2063 War I<\/a> \u2014 known for decades thereafter as\u200b simply \u201cThe Great War\u201d \u200b\u2014 broke out in \u2062Europe. Then, in 1916, Wilson successfully campaigned for re-election\u200d on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theworldwar.org\/learn\/about-wwi\/us-enters-war\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">slogan<\/a> \u201cHe Kept Us Out of War.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finally, in April 1917, German submarine attacks on nominally neutral U.S. vessels became intolerable. This prompted Wilson to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archives.gov\/milestone-documents\/address-to-congress-declaration-of-war-against-germany\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ask<\/a> Congress for a declaration of \u2062war.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than\u2064 merely vindicate the rights of neutral nations, however \u2014 as \u2063President James Madison had <a href=\"https:\/\/millercenter.org\/the-presidency\/presidential-speeches\/june-1-1812-special-message-congress-foreign-policy-crisis-war\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">done<\/a> in 1812 \u2014 Wilson radically transformed American foreign policy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe world \u2062must be\u200b made safe for democracy,\u201d he piously and foolishly \u200bdeclared.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the\u2063 president \u200calready had in\u2062 mind an international organization, what became the now-defunct League of Nations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA steadfast concert for peace can never be maintained \u200dexcept by a partnership of democratic nations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>With those words, Wilson abandoned the wise and time-tested policy of \u201cno entangling alliances,\u201d so carefully crafted and preserved by George Washington, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/providence-jefferson-adams-died-50th-anniversary-declaration-independence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thomas Jefferson<\/a>, John Quincy Adams and others.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it is impossible to say how Taft might have responded to World War I. Nor do we know who might have\u2062 won the 1916 election had Wilson not enjoyed the advantage of incumbency.<\/p>\n<p>We can say with confidence, however, \u200dthat the conservative Taft would not have set the U.S. on its lengthy and regrettable career of fighting for \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/bombshell-wapo-article-alleges-ukraine-behind-sabotage-nord-stream-pipeline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">democracy<\/a>\u201d across \u2064the world. To Wilson alone we should affix that infamy. And for it we may thank Roosevelt.<\/p>\n<h3>1844 Presidential Election<\/h3>\n<p>At first glance, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.presidency.ucsb.edu\/statistics\/elections\/1844\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1844<\/a> election might not strike the casual observer as\u200c fitting \u200deither of \u200dmy criteria.<\/p>\n<p>After all, \u200dthe Democrat, James K. Polk, defeated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/anti-woke-new-whig-party-will-collapse-reason\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Whig<\/a> candidate Henry Clay\u2062 in the Electoral College 170-105. Polk also narrowly won the popular vote, 49.5 percent to 48.1 percent, meaning that no third-party candidate made a ripple on the national level.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, probably\u200c few modern Americans could describe the immediate consequences of Polk\u2019s victory.<\/p>\n<p>Upon closer\u200c inspection, however, we find the sort of drama that altered a nation\u2019s destiny.<\/p>\n<p>In the state of New York, Polk <a href=\"https:\/\/uselectionatlas.org\/RESULTS\/state.php?f=0&#038;fips=36&#038;year=1844\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">won<\/a> 237,588 votes\u2063 to Clay\u2019s\u2063 232,482.\u2062 Meanwhile, James G. Birney of\u2063 the Liberty Party earned 15,812\u2064 votes.<\/p>\n<p>The Liberty Party represented the tiny fraction of Americans who in 1844 identified with the abolitionist cause.\u200b Hence, Birney \u2064gained some \u200btraction\u2063 in New\u2064 England\u2064 and upstate New\u2064 York but almost none elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Birney\u2019s presence proved decisive.<\/p>\n<p>Given the binary choice\u2063 between \u200cPolk and Clay, abolitionist voters might have held their\u2062 noses while casting votes, but they unquestionably would have chosen the latter.<\/p>\n<p>On philosophical grounds, Clay had some anti-slavery credentials. Polk\u2064 had none. A younger Lincoln, for instance, idolized Clay,\u200b whereas many voters viewed Polk as \u200da protege\u200c of former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/victor-davis-hanson-trump-takes-lesson-andrew-jackson-2024-will-interesting-indeed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Andrew Jackson<\/a>, who left no record of \u2062any \u200cmoral objections to slavery.<\/p>\n<p>It would be no exaggeration,\u2063 therefore, to guess that had Birney not appeared on \u2062the ballot in New York, all or nearly\u200d all 15,812 of his votes would\u200c have gone to Clay. This would have put New York\u2019s 36 electoral votes in Clay\u2019s column \u2014 and that would have flipped the national result to Clay 141, Polk 134.<\/p>\n<p>As it stood, Polk entered the presidency and then \u200dpursued aggressive western expansion. Texas entered the Union as a slave state in 1845. More importantly, Polk provoked the Mexican War (1846-48), which eventually added to the Union nearly all of the present-day American Southwest, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/california-finally-sets-security-barrier-not-protect-americans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, it\u2062 would be impossible to overstate the \u2062significance of Polk\u2019s victory, made possible by Birney.<\/p>\n<p>Had Clay won the presidency in \u200d1844, there almost certainly would have been no Mexican War and no conquest of territory.\u2063 Without \u200bthe Mexican War, the question of\u200d slavery in the territories would not have re-emerged. And in that case, Democrats\u2063 in 1848 would not have proposed the solution of \u201cpopular sovereignty\u201d \u2014 the novel idea that people in the territories could and should vote on whether to allow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/dem-rep-displays-stunning-lack-knowledge-declaration-independence-slavery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">slavery<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>That idea \u2014 so close to Democrats\u2019 hearts \u2014 \u2063threw the\u200c territories into chaos. It gave us <a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/topics\/19th-century\/bleeding-kansas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bleeding Kansas<\/a>. It called the Republican Party\u200d into existence\u200b in 1854. And it brought Lincoln back into national politics to fight against the hideous notion \u200dof slavery sanctioned by democratic vote.<\/p>\n<p>In short, had Birney not appeared on the 1844 ballot in New York, the modern Republican Party\u200c might not exist. We might never have heard of Abraham Lincoln. \u200cAnd the Civil War certainly would not have occurred when and why it \u200cdid.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/something-bads-coming-tucker-carlson-warns-america-brink-collapse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tucker Carlson<\/a> \u200b recently noted, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/when-3rd-party-candidates-changed-elections-and-history\/\" title=\"When 3rd-Party Candidates Changed Elections - And History\">present moment feels weighty<\/a>, like something bad lay on the horizon. And everyone knows it. Thus, the 2024 election could not feel more consequential than it now does.<\/p>\n<p>Time will tell, of course, whether posterity might view <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-tucker-carlson-bucks-conventional-wisdom-rfk-jr-s-impact-2024-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RFK Jr<\/a>. as\u2062 a Roosevelt or a Birney.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/3rd-party-candidates-changed-elections-history\/\">When 3rd-Party Candidates Changed Elections &#8211; And History<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The \u200dWestern Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2>Ated with many Americans who \u200cfelt disillusioned with the two\u200d major parties and their handling of\u200c the country&#8217;s economic issues.

Despite his popularity\u200d and \u200bappeal to a wide range of voters, his candidacy split the Republican vote, allowing Democrat\u200b Woodrow\u2064 Wilson to secure \u200bvictory.<\/p>\n<p>Wilson won the election with 41.8 percent of the popular\u2062 vote and a \u200dsubstantial lead in \u200bthe Electoral College, \u200creceiving 435 out of 531 electoral votes. Roosevelt finished second, earning 27.4 percent of the popular vote and \u200d88 electoral \u200bvotes, while Taft only managed to secure 23.2 percent \u200dof the popular vote and 8 electoral \u200dvotes.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2064 consequences of Roosevelt&#8217;s third-party candidacy were\u200c far-reaching. Wilson&#8217;s presidency marked \u200ca \u2063shift in the political landscape, as he implemented a\u2064 series of progressive reforms and led the United States through World War I.

Ross Perot, a billionaire businessman\u2063 and political outsider, ran as an\u2063 independent candidate and garnered a remarkable 18.9 percent of the popular vote.
