notes: label: Description
content: Ross Perot ran his second campaign for the White House in 1996 as the candidate of his newly formed Reform Party. The slogan on this yo-yo was a humorous reflection on his name and political career: “The Perot-Yo It Keeps Coming Back Again And Again And Again And Again.” Both Perot and Senator Bob Dole, the Republican nominee, lost to incumbent President Bill Clinton. Perot’s support was less than half what it had been in his 1992 campaign as he received just over eight percent of the popular vote.
