Eugene V. Debs received about 6% of the popular vote in the 1912 presidential election, which amounted to nearly 900,000 votes. His campaign as the Socialist Party candidate highlighted the growing support for socialism in America during that time. The election was also significant as it represented the peak of the Socialist Party's influence in U.S. politics.
