Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 бер 2024
- As the 2024 presidential election nears, several third-party challengers have emerged to challenge President Biden and Donald Trump, including Robert Kennedy Jr., Cornel West, and No Labels. Do any of these third-party candidates have a feasible path to the White House? What will be their impact on the race? Will they take votes from Biden, or present a challenge to Trump? 538’s Senior Elections Analyst Geoffrey Skelley takes us through past third-party challengers and the current political landscape.

A lot of people ok are voting for Kennedy
I'll be voting for RFK Jr!
Here here!
Nobody is
@@The_king567 My name isn't Nobody.
Not that hard to just say the third candidate is RFK jr...
They don’t want to.
It’s not
@@The_king567 it definitely is??
@@jjlsbrua9342 it’s not
Man 15% should get chance to be on ballot
RFK JR.🚨
Kennedy! Kennedy!! Kennedy!!!
boomer go away
@@chairmanRobmate I’m 16 💀
Kennedy For Me!
RFK ALL THE WAY!
A vote for Kennedy is really a vote for trump.
I have a feeling RFK is going to win, might put a bet on it actually.
Same!
I do too. Somewhere deep down, I just know that he is going to pull through. We can't have another 4 years of Trump or Biden, I don't think our country could handle it.
@@josephbanet5410 Yup just a much safer bet, his values are good and that's what matters, he's a bit naive on some things regarding foreign policy but nothing matures someone like being president of the US and you can be certain his decisions are all made with good intentions. It's definitely about time this us vs them thing ended, people have far more in common than not in common.
When I hear RFK Jr speak, I can't explain the profound powerful feelings of hope, excitement, inspiration, almost disbelief that I feel in my heart and my gut. And to see the growing support in the comments of people who feel similar amplifies these feelings. It is almost like he was meant for this moment. For him to choose to run and stand up at this pivotal moment in history, knowing better than any of us the fate that befell his uncle and then his father when they courageously stood up to fight against the same malevolent forces and powerful machine that we have been fighting ever since, is just kind of unbelievable. That we would be so lucky and that he has the same courage and integrity and will to fight for the regular people of this country in his blood feels like a miracle. Putting his life on the line. The prospect of a biden vs trump rematch was pretty discouraging and then he comes out of nowhere with such a powerful message of truth and light and unity by healing the divide and bringing us together around our common interests. He stands for ending the corruption and capture of our public institutions, dismantling the military industrial complex along with the deep state which is weaponized against American citizens and used to promote aggressive wars all over the world, protecting the environment by holding these mega corporations accountable for the destruction and damage and poisoning of the environment that belongs to all of us. Hes intelligent, critical thinker, courageous, principled, and a truth seeker for the people. A president we can be proud of. Of course he cant do it alone. I hope enough americans will wake up to the dystopian reality we are living in. And once we have been awakened it is time to stand up defiantly unified against the exploitation, the propaganda, the lying and the corruption. We will stand up as past generations have and we will fight for our freedom and we will win. The establishment elites are absolutely threatened and terrified about what this man represents. The beginning of a new era. The realization of a dream and a new path his uncle and father gave their lives to try to usher in and lead the country towards peace and prosperity and rebuilding and rebirth. ❤ i pray for his protection and i stand with all of you, my fellow free thinking citizens, in this fight for the soul of our nation.
If Trump is so unpopular why does he draw such big crowds. I know this things were much better under
He has shaken up the establishment. I will support Donald Trump. However I hope that Kennedy would be in Donald Trump s cabinet. We as Americans should have choices. Kennedy is much more mild manerd than Trump but I have seen results with Trump. One thing they both have in common they love this country and care about the people
his cult members are very loyal, yes. thats the reason for big crowds. what results have you seen with Trump? how did he make your life better?@@treatzfortruckerz3913
Same, I am with you.
RFK Jr said he wants to be a contender and people decide one of those two.@@treatzfortruckerz3913
I'm right there with you.
Done with pragmatic voting. Voted for third party last election, only looking at third party now.
I used to do the “pragmatic” vote but then the 2016 rigged primary happened & from the 2016 General & every election since, I voted on ballot initiatives & for ONLY leftist 3rd party/Ind candidates from top to bottom of the ballot. It’s been the best decision I’ve made. #DemExit. #NoRegrets
@@bothpartiesaretraitors4021 @Sam-dc9bg Then TIA to both of you for Trump 2.0. Your political purity comes at a huge cost to the rest of us. I wonder what rights SCOTUS will strike down next, especially if Trump gets to fill further vacancies.
@@jamesvanscoyoc6064 Democrats had 50+ years to codify Roe and never did. It’s so obvious Dems & GOP work together for their donors against our interests. Wake up.
Kennedy is the guy
His not just the guy his OUR FUTURE PRESIDENT
I wish one would win !! To stop the crappy 2 party system! The lesser of 2 is bullcrap!
That's closed democracy elections that we have been running with. Places like Germany have Open Democracy systems, which allows even the third parties to have a choice, even if they don't have a full majority. It brings a good balance, and it works.
Search Open Democracy
Kennedy Kennedy Kennedy kennedy Kennedy Kennedy du-duduu-dudu...
RFK is the way.
He is by far the best candidate. It's not even close.
Great! Means Trump will win in a landslide.
He’s a right wing conspiracy theory
Vote for Kennedy!!!!
I wouldn't underestimate #RFKJR 🇺🇸
RFK Jr. Is going to win. Americans are going to show who runs this country, US . The whole world will change.
Rfk jr 2024!!!
RFK Jr is going to WIN!
Influence? lol. RFK Jr. will absolutely win this.
Delulu
RFK ALL THE WAY!
KENNEDY!!!!!!!!!!!
Registered Dem for Decades - Voting Kennedy 2024 🇺🇸🇺🇸
So embarrassing
Same with me my friend!
I wish there were no political parties.
George Washington wanted it that way, but his constituents wouldn't see it that way. He remains the only Independent to have ever been President.
Dictatorship?
@Aussiebirds2024 No a system where political parties aren't present. Like when the U.S. started, there were no political parties, and people just voted for the candidate, not the party they represented.
George Washington himself disdained political parties.
@@DeadChannelNow you mean a non-two party system
"I stand before you as every leader should -- free of partisan allegiance and backroom deals -- a servant only to my conscience, to my creator and to you." - Robert F. Kennedy Jr. That's OUR leader! #wethepeople #kennedyremedy24 #declareyourindependence
#2024Elections: America 🇺🇸 If Majority of us feel that our country is headed in the wrong direction. Question 🙋♂️ Why would y’all want to continue to vote 🗳️ for the same party that is responsible for taking this country in the wrong direction? Change is good.
FACTS! I am sick of people bitching about either party and still voting for them. Our political system can't change unless we the people influence it to change.
RKF JR
We The People have had enough!! Kennedy 2024!!!
RFK Jr or bust
RFK JR. For the People! 🇺🇸
If a third party voter doesn’t have the option they are likely to sit out. I’m not sure why so many seem to think that those votes would automatically go to Dems or Republicans.
Because its not just they like the 3rd party voter, its that they hate one of the candidates more than the other- etc if I don't have a third party vote which I would have prefered, im stil going to vote for Biden over Trump, because despite Biden being bad, trump is much much worse.
@@Uncreeperble My third party vote is entirely based on policy, not the personalities/talking heads. The argument that Trump is worse is no longer a winning message. After record inflation, a funded genocide, and an American Dream seemingly drifting further and further away, the Democrats have their work cut out for them.
Because duopoly supporters have been fed a false narrative for decades.
@@Uncreeperblebiden is definitely worse
I probably won't vote if rfk isn't on the ballet. I can't bring myself to vote for Trump or Biden.
Why not mention Jill Stein who is running for president in 2024 and has more ballot access in the Green Party than Cornel West
Notice that too? I think it’s because West won’t be on the ballot in enough states to matter so he’s not a threat but Jill Stein will be on the ballot in at least 45 states likely 50 & she is the threat. I like West & supported him when he was a Green.
It's Kennedy! Kennedy! Kennedy! Kennedy! Kennedy! Kennedy! Ken-ne-dy for me!
I wasnt going ro vote this year but if i do it will be Kennedy
RFK Jr. for President 🇺🇸
Tulsi Gabbard for VP 🇺🇸
RFK2024
Rfk all the way
All the way with RFK!
Kennedy for president!🎉
Advice of The Day: Opposing viewpoints shouldn’t be censored 🤬 rather than it should be debated. What happened to go old fashion debates? All of sudden if you’ve difference of opinions with someone you get censored 🤬 which is wrong.
Voters: don’t vote for an establishment candidate to prevent a spoiler or ban with a party. Vote for the person. Vote for who you think would be the best choice. Voting was created to be the voice of the people. 🇺🇸 RFK Jr. for President 2024 🇺🇸
Kennedy is the first time in YEARS when I've seen a man and been like "Nah... THAT'S a president right there"
We need to have primary open in every state. And then we were definitely probably have more third-party candidates. But here in Florida you can’t even vote for a third-party candidate if you’re registered as a Democrat or a Republican. And if you’re registered as a green member then you can’t vote for Democrat or Republican even if they’re the only ones on the ballot. I mean it’s really dumb that each state has a different laws. We’re one country.
Agree except for "every state having different laws is a bad thing"
Can you change what you are listed as?
Rfk!!!!
Good idea! As someone living in Canada, it will be good to have more then 2 candidates
Hopefully Kennedy runs so he can split the trump vote 😂
he’s gonna split the Trump & Biden vote imo
He’s a former democrat buddy he’s gonna be pulling far more Biden votes than trump votes. 😉
He will spilt the biden vote
@@ryanjones4106nope the trump vote
From what I've read Kennedy is pulling support from both of the major parties.
You guys need a third party. not third candidate
We need to abolish political parties
@@samman3688it’s called vote Republican less Federal Gov more power to the states
@@SnowPl0xyou’re missing the point
Virtually impossible; we would have to change our whole system to provide for proportional representation and eliminate the Electoral College. That would require changes to the Constitution, and the Republicans will never allow that because the current system is tilted in their favor.
As far as changing the Constitution is concerned, the procedure for doing that is even more tilted towards the Republicans. This is why there have been no politically significant amendments for over a generation, like the one that lowered the voting age to 18. The system wasn't designed to be unfair, but it has evolved to be that way as our population and voting habits have shifted around the country.
So we can theoretically have as many parties as we want, but unlike, say, in Germany, they will never get near the Senate or House chambers.
I’m definitely starting to lean towards voting for Kennedy. I’m tired of these republicans and democrats.
Yes! The people who are surrendered and feel powerless to the democracy devouring duopoly are only serving to prop up a failing corrupt system. In a political landscape that has been contaminated by despicable levels of smearing and tawdry drama, that is polluted with division and untold levels of deception and corruption, RFK stands as a beacon of much needed change.
PEOPLE, this is ABC tipping their toe in the water to see if its warm - feel me
#KENNEDY2024 #WETHEPEOPLE
If Trump picks a woman for a running mate, we shall see a John McCain-Sarah Palin kind of a fiasco.
Except John McCain was an establishment politician and Sarah Palin was grassroots but an ineffective communicator (and a hoot at that matter). Trump is more effective at communicating and his VP will be more establishment (but less establishment than Pence) and a better communicator.
They only shine light on the two parties. You have to dig and search for the 3rd candidates and their policies.
#Facts: In Europe voters 🗳️ especially young voters are trending towards the populist and so far right movement because these Populist candidates have a message that resonating with the voters. Normal policies, so, why can’t we the American 🇺🇸 people embrace populism?
Populism in America comes with some additional baggage that doesn't apply to European populist parties. For example, are any of the European right wing populist parties advocating eliminating national health insurance?
Hidden History Museum Historic
People never fail in displaying stupidity.🤦
Yes he’s going to influence it significantly… by winning!
We need ranked-choice voting
Campaign on unity
I hope RFKJR wins
My money is on Kennedy for the WIN!
Until we have a system where the representation is proportional to the vote share that candidate or party gets (like in other countries) a third party will never win
Each US state / province / oblast is their own country.
Most people don’t vote, so NO, third parties don’t have much of an effect.
Youth of America, research your choice of who you vote for before actually deciding to vote.❤
RFK Jr. 2024!
KENNEDY 2024
No point unless you have proportional representation.
I never vote but now i will. I wanted David Goggins but RFK will do
Kennedy24 has my vote
Kennedy Jr 2024..
Stopping in to answer the question.
Yes.
Only a fool would say no.
The president has a name, and his name is Robert F Kennedy Jr
Kennedy doesn’t even have the support of his family
Good to see Robert F Kennedy Jr on mainstream news. He’s the man for the job 🌺🇺🇸
vote rfk
Time for a real change - was Democrat & now proudly independent! Don’t underestimate RFK all the way!🇺🇸🩵
Same with me friend!
VOTE Kennedy 2024
None the old man says their policy.
Kennedy has my vote.
I was raised to hate Democrats specifically because of the way his uncle handled Cuba... but the more I listen to him the more I'm convinced he's the best candidate I've ever seen. He's the only one sitting down with us to discuss issues and defending Americans from corruption. His record is clear all he cares about is people and the environment, money can't bend this man. He's a critical thinker and won't agree to anything unless he believes he fully understands the implications.
He's the best of both sides:
focus on closing the border in places that make sense and allowing wildlife to continue migrations while controlling the flow of migrants with a catch & return policy.
Stop the cross-pollination between big business and our institutions (health military, media, education, etc) with federal mandates and push congress to pass laws preventing political donations from businesses.
Get NIH to focus on studies to understand why we are the sickest nation and what we can do to get healthy again. Also have them study the relation between pharmaceuticals/social media and gun violence, instead of pushing congress for gun control legislation.
Stop meddling in other countries' government affairs and stop the feds abuse on inflation. Cut military spending and bring that money for economic programs to help project economic power so everyone needs us instead of BRICS. Don't tax bitcoin earnings and look into the using it to back our federal reserve.
Empower parents with school choice and give them the authority over medical decisions.
Pro choice but encourages people to choose life.
Federal funding for low-income neighborhoods to bring back local banks, good grocery stores, and entrepreneurial programs to build the knowledge missing in these communities.
Get housing back into the hands of Americans instead of companies that are making it impossible for the average college grad to purchase, by taxing these companies more than individual home owners and providing government programs that will cosign low interest loans for people who want to own a home for the first time.
Legalize marijuana and use the taxes to fund education, addiction services, and recovery.
I can go on forever
Kennedy 2024
Let’s vote for Kennedy. We don’t need Biden or even Trump!!!!
RFK Jr ❤
🤔 can no labels win
I'd vote for a Ross Perot type of man over anyone really.
Unity Party Ticket. Liz Cheney for President, Gavin Newsome for Vice President this ticket could runaway with it all
Who even likes Newsome?
Bernie needs to rejoin and take Kennedy Jrs place. Bernard!✊🏻✊✊🏽✊🏿
Bernie was praising big Pharma for their amazing covid-19 vaccine. What a disappointment.
liked own comment lol
I voted for Bernie in 2016. He’s the Democrat Party sheep herder. No thanks. Saint Bernard needs to retire.
I’ll take him over biden and trump any time of the day any day of the week any month of the year.
@@tranquil4_. I don’t see that and if I did it was accidental
Conel West 2024!!
Drain the swamp
Vote RFKJR
What happens when no lables decides on someone? We unearth their political record or ask simple questions like - do you believe in climate change? Do you support right for life? And right there, you have a cultural and social issue that says "well, this person is clearly a Democrat (or Republican)"
No labels isn’t going to run anyone.
Im voting Cornel West
#2024Elections: America 🇺🇸 we the Voters 🗳️ will determine the Future of America 🇺🇸 and The Next Generation’s Future which is why this upcoming election 🗳️ is crucial that we get this right. We do need change in leadership. America 🇺🇸 First President who will put the people first
Haha is funny to see all of these Rfk jr bots in the comments
Kennedy/West 2024
RFKjnr could get elected by promising a new election in one year without Biden and Trump. That by getting Congress and Senate to approve such a change.
Dr Shiva Ayyadurai !!!
As long as Biden fails to get 270
RFK Jr. May Not Win The Election Or Any States, But He Will Certainly Make An Effect. He Also Cares About the American People and Jobs...
Kennedy has every right to be in the presidential election 2024
Advice of The Day: America 🇺🇸 we definitely need new leadership. Question 🙋♂️ Why is it that if Majority of Americans feel that this country is headed in the wrong direction then why would we subject ourselves with voting 🗳️ for the same parities that have led us down this path?
JFK 2024

This video has no views.....but i believe we can achieve 3rd party
