The presidency is typically won by either the Democratic Party or Republican Party nominee, but third-party candidates running can sometimes take away enough votes from one of those candidates to be a spoiler.

Then-President George H.W. Bush's 1992 reelection campaign went down in defeat to then-Gov. Bill Clinton thanks in part to independent presidential candidate Ross Perot's strong third-party run in the general election. Although Perot did not receive any electoral votes, he came closest in Maine, where he finished second behind Clinton, 38.8%-30.4%. In the national popular vote, Perot received more than 19.7 million votes compared to Clinton's 44.9 million and Bush's 39.1 million.Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader was blamed by some for then-Vice President Al Gore's loss to then-Gov. George W. Bush in the state of Florida in 2000.
