Not to be that girl, but Teddy Roosevelt getting shot didn't win him reelection in 1912, the successful assassination of RFK in 1968 didn't secure the win for democrats, the multiple assassination attempts on Gerald Ford didn't nab him reelection, when Garfield was shot, the next election went to Grover Cleveland, who wasn't in the same party as Garfield. Failed assassination isn't a guaranteed win

Teddy Roosevelt literally led the most succesfuly third party campaign in American history despite running for a third term in office. The only reason why he lost is because Democrats rallied behind Wilson while the rest of the country was split in a three-way race between Taft, Roosevelt and even the socialist Eugene Debs who gathered a surprisingly high percentage of votes. Ultimately Teddy came in 2nd with the poplar vote being somwhere along the lines of 40% Wilson - 30 % Teddy - 25 % Taft and 5 % Debs.
