It was the only third party ever to have a presidential candidate elected ( A )

Explanation:

The populist party did not produce a presidential candidate that was elected but in 1896 the populist leaders gave their support to William Jennings Bryan a democratic party candidate and this eventually led to the populist party fading away from national politics. the main goal of the populist party was to ensure government involvement in big businesses and also promote public ownership of railroads which would make access to crops cheaper for farmers, and also to restore democracy in its proper form.
