The People's Party saw both positive and negative consequences from backing William Jennings Bryan's democratic nomination.
The founders of the Populist Movement, which sought to defend the rights of farmers, founded the People's Party. It was established in 1891, and James B. Weaver, a candidate for president, received 8.5 percent of the vote in the 1892 presidential election. This brought the people's party political notice.
When William Jennings Bryan, a Democrat, ran for president in 1896, the People's Party supported them because they were moved by their goals and by the popularity of the People's party. The People's Party's political exposure expanded after being merged into the Democratic Party.
The fusion wasn't a wise choice, given the situation in the south. Democrats took a wholly bigoted stance, demonstrating the ideological disparity between the two parties. By 1908, People's Party influence had faded.
