Growing speculation over a third-party candidate in the 2024 presidential election has raised concerns among Democrats that such a candidate could help former President Donald Trump reclaim the White House.
Recent polling showed that if there were no third-party candidate in the 2024 election, Biden would either barely be ahead of Trump or be tied with him. On the other hand, Trump would take the lead or be tied with Biden if a third-party candidate did run, according to ABC News."The concern among Democrats is that Biden has a softer hold on his voters than Donald Trump voters who are going to do anything for his candidates," said Rick Klein, a political director at ABC.
Former Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman, who is a founding chair of the No Labels organization, stated that a majority of people in the United States"are not buying what the two parties are selling anymore." The organization has sought to open the door for a third-party candidate in several presidential elections.
"There is no way on God’s green Earth that they can get to 270 electoral votes, which means they will be a spoiler," said Jones."One way or another, they will be a spoiler, and as Rick Klein said, it looks like they will be a spoiler in favor of Donald Trump, and that will be the biggest threat to democracy that we have seen since January 6."
