"Democratic Panic Over Third-Party Bid in 2024"
The decline in third-party votes in 2020 helped Biden win key battleground states, and Democrats are now worried about the impact of third-party candidates in the 2024 election. No Labels, a well-financed third-party group, is seeking ballot access in all 50 states for an independent unity ticket featuring a Democrat and a Republican. While polls show a majority of voters would consider voting for a moderate independent candidate, Democrats fear a third-party bid could take votes away from their candidate and help Trump win. The size of the third-party vote in 2024 remains uncertain.
