Over the past week alone, two political outsiders have taken steps to launch independent or third-party presidential bids
FILE - Colored coordinated Presidential Primary Election ballots are organized by political parties for voters on June 7, 2016, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Porterville, Calif. While the politics are murky, the fresh frenzy of outsider candidates threatens to weaken both major parties as President Joe Biden and Republican Donald Trump tighten their grip on their party's presidential nominations.
Noting that no independent or third-party candidate has ever won even a single electoral vote — never mind the 270 needed to claim the presidency — he said Biden and his team still need to be aggressive in warning voters about the threat that long-shot outsider candidates present. Aware of the risk, Trump allies have begun circulating opposition research against Kennedy designed to damage his standing among would-be conservative supporters. In addition to highlighting his past support for Hillary Clinton's Senate and presidential campaigns, Trump allies in recent days have also circulated a pre-pandemic video clip of Kennedy declaring himself “fiercely pro-vaccine” in a message to Black religious leader Louis Farrakhan.
“The most intriguing thing about this is, you have an incumbent president of the United States, and all of the elements of the third-party run are coming out of his coalition, not ours,” LaCivita told The Associated Press. But an outsider candidate does not need to qualify for the ballot in every state to have a profound political impact. Just ask Brendan McPhillips, the state director for Biden's Pennsylvania efforts in the last election.
