Jefferson's party was the Democratic-Republican Party. Often called the Jefferson Party.
Teddy Roosevelt had been a Republican but kicked them to the curb and ran on the Progressive ticket when he won the presidency. He also trashed the Constitution but not nearly as badly as Lincoln who set the precedent for ignoring the constitution and catering to the Northern Industrialists by creating Corporate Welfare.
Democratic-Republican Party
Ironically, as a Founding Father, Thomas Jefferson was vehemently against political parties. He felt they would quickly gain control and take the power away from We The People.
When Alexander Hamilton and others rallied around a strong centralized government and central bank, which many founders were also vehemently against, Jefferson decided to create an opposition party to ensure States rights. Rather than stand his ground on being against political parties he realized he had to counter balance the Federalists.
Ironically, "Federalists" believed in strong centralized power in the capitol, but "Federalism" is the idea that states should be a powerful counter balance to the federal government.
The compromise that was established between the two trains of thought was to declare in the US Constitution that only powers expressly granted to the federal government in the US Constitution would be federal powers. Everything else, all other powers not expressly granted to the federal government in the Constitution, were reserved for the states to control.
We are seeing this play out in real time as we see the differences in how different states have handled the pandemic, CRT, and many other modern issues. Florida is doing it one way and California and New York the opposite way, as an example.
One common theme that has existed since Jefferson first created an opposition party, and for most of our history, is that power tends to coalesce into two major factions in the United States.
Jefferson's original party name was Republican Party. The Federalists branded it the Democratic-Republican Party, and eventually it became the Democrat Party. It's interesting to see the evolution of it all.
I mentioned above that there is a tendency for power to coalesce into two separate, divergent parties, but I believe, roughly from the period of time that former CIA director and Vice President, George H.W. Bush became President, that the two parties more or less became one. One uni-party.
The Big Show is that the Big Club acts as though they hate each other, to create the political theater for voters to still think their votes matter and that we must choose sides, but in reality they are all working together to ensure their power and wealth is unmatched, unquestioned, and undefeated as they tighten their grip of control over the American people and suck the life out of our country.
True. Jefferson and George Washington were both against political parties. Washington argued that political parties needed to be restrained in a free country with a government empowered by the consent of the governed and established through popular elections. He warned of the possibility fearing they could distract the government from its required duty to the people and even lead to the eradication of the freedoms established by the founding.
This is what Washington had to say about parties in his Farewell Address in 1796 in which he noted the dangers of what he called the "spirit of the party":
Also George Mason, Patrick Henry refused to sign the Constitution because they felt it gave the central government too much power.
Great additional info u/Dogsoldier2 👈🏻
Your third quoted paragraph seems especially prescient for today's political atmosphere!
Thanks for the share. I hope many see it and brush up on their History of the United States.

I thought Lincoln was a WH who tried to prevent the central bank from taking over our finances and that's the reason he was assassinated
If you line up all the U.S. coinage, everyone is facing the same way except Lincoln. Line them up one way and they're facing each other, reverse them and the other trophy heads are turning their backs on Lincoln. Also his coin is different from the others in that it's not silver-colored junk metal.
Didn't Lincoln institute Income tax collection?
