The Landscape of Third-Party Candidates
Five prominent candidates are challenging the traditional duopoly in the 2024 US presidential election: Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, along with independents Cornel West, Jill Stein, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Cornel West, an activist and academic, aims to dismantle the hold of the ruling class to achieve true democracy, while Jill Stein focuses on climate change and social justice. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stands out with his anti-establishment appeal, leveraging his family legacy and tapping into discontent among voters disillusioned with the political status quo. Each of these candidates poses a unique threat to the major parties, particularly as they capture a combined share of the vote that could influence the outcome significantly.
