Description

Get ready for one of the wildest, most unpredictable elections in American history—the kind that makes modern political drama look downright minimalist. In this episode, we watch as four major candidates split the nation's vote, old allies turn into rivals, and Theodore Roosevelt decides, essentially, "If you won't let me run with your party, I'll just make my own." The result? A Progressive showdown that ushers Woodrow Wilson into the White House and reshapes the federal government's role in everyday life. From trust-busting debates to tariff tinkering, it's the election where ideas mattered as much as personalities—and both came in swinging.
