Abstract

This article explores the challenges faced by third-party candidates in American politics, particularly in the context of voters who dislike both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Third-party candidates often struggle to get on the ballot due to the high requirements of gathering signatures and financial costs. Despite this, some voters see third-party candidates as an alternative to the two major parties. The article highlights the organization No Labels, which aims to capture moderate voters from both parties but faces skepticism from political scientists who believe that without structural changes and grassroots support, third parties are unlikely to succeed. The article also discusses the concept of third-party candidates as spoilers in elections and the difficulties they encounter in gaining traction and support. [Extracted from the article]
