Why did Roosevelt choose Taft to succeed him

2 Answers

1 vote

William Howard Taft and Theodore Roosevelt were friends. Roosevelt hand-picked Taft to succeed him as President. But as Taft ran his administration and policies against those of Roosevelt, it caused Roosevelt to feel betrayed.

Hope this helps! :)
