It nominated Perot for president again in 1996, then Pat Buchanan in 2000, after a vicious internal battle. In the year 1998, Jesse Ventura was elected governor of the state of Minnesota on the Reform Party ticket, though the Minnesota branch of the Reform Party later disaffiliated itself with the national party and renamed itself to the Independence Party.
