Deep dives
Possible impact of a third-party candidate
A consequential third-party candidate could have a significant impact on the upcoming election if they can get on the ballot and offer a reasonable alternative to the main candidates. Many voters are dissatisfied with the choices presented by the two major parties and might be open to a third-party option that appears independent and separate from the mess of the GOP or the Democrats. As long as they choose a ticket that is seen as moderate or bipartisan, they could attract a considerable number of voters who are looking for an alternative to Trump and Biden.
