3rd Party Candidates

Third-party candidates can play several roles in the U.S. Presidential election of 2024, even though they are unlikely to win the presidency. Third-party candidates can draw votes away from major party candidates, potentially influencing the outcome in closely contested states. This was seen in previous elections where candidates like Ralph Nader in 2000 and Jill Stein in 2016 were considered to have siphoned votes from the Democratic candidates.
