Well, look up Teddy Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. TR favored Taft as his successor, but then became disenchanted with him and tried to overthrow him in 1912. When he didn't get the nomination, he ran as a third party candidate ("the Bull Mouse Party"), which drew enough votes to win Woodrow Wilson the Presidency.
