H Ross Perot
In 1992, Ross Perot formed the Reform Party of the United States. The party aimed to address issues such as government reform, fiscal responsibility, and reducing the national debt. Perot ran as the party's candidate in the 1992 presidential election, garnering significant support and highlighting the role of third parties in American politics. His campaign focused on populist themes and attracted a diverse coalition of voters dissatisfied with the two major parties.
Polls found that Perot's voters were a 50:50 ratio of Democrats and Republicans. Many of them were disatisfied with the two-party system and wanted a break from it, and for some time Perot led the way in the polls. Perot's campaign was let down by a number of mistakes: at one point he pulled out of the race, and his running mate James Stockdale was seen as being disorientated when he participated in the vice presidential debate. Nethertheless, Perot won 18% of the popular vote and was able to take part in the presidential debates. However, he did not carry any states or win any electoral votes. Bill Clinton, the most popular candidate, won a decisive victory in the electoral college. Perot got the largest share of the vote in states that were either strongly Democratic or Republican.
