Who did Theodore Roosevelt run against for governor?
William Howard Taft and Theodore Roosevelt were friends. Roosevelt hand-picked Taft to succeed him as President. But as Taft ran his administration and policies against those of Roosevelt, it caused Roosevelt to feel betrayed. TR formed the Progresssive Bull Moose Party and ran against Taft in 1912, splitting the vote, and allowing the Democrat, Woodrow Wilson, to become President.
Theodore Roosevelt failed to win the Republican nomination in 1912 and he wanted to be President, so he formed his own party and ran against the Republicans and Democrats.
