Ross Perot, the Texas businessman who ran unsuccessfully for president twice, has died at age 89 after a five-month battle with leukemia, The Dallas Morning News was first to report Tuesday.
Perot broke from the Republican Party in the early 1990s, upending the 1992 election by winning 19% of the vote as an independent candidate running against then–Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton (D) and incumbent President George H.W. Bush (R). He failed, however, to carry a single state.
He launched the Reform Party in 1995 and ran for president again the following year, that time securing a smaller percentage of votes. Perot famously treated Americans to 30-minute infomercials ― paid for with his own money ― about his plan for the economy, aided by cardboard graphs and charts that drew as many as 16.5 million viewers, according to a 1992 New York Times report. Dana Carvey played him with a whiny twang on “Saturday Night Live.” Perot blamed both parties for running up the national deficit and later, in 2008, created a website to track the debt.
