The list of third-party and independent candidates running for president in 2024 has been expanding — driven by the weak approval ratings of both Biden and Trump.
Their poor ratings have produced a category of US voters that pollsters and strategists are describing as “double haters” — disenchanted by both of them.Robert Kennedy Jr, a scion of the famed US political dynasty and nephew of the late former president John F Kennedy, has been running for president as an independent for several months, as has Cornel West, the progressive activist and philosopher.
Last week, Jill Stein, a leftwing activist who is often blamed by Democrats for damaging Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign against Trump in 2016, said she will be renewing her White House candidacy for the Green party in 2024.
In addition, Joe Manchin, the centrist Democratic senator from West Virginia, announced he would not seek a new term in Congress in recent days, triggering speculation that he might also be preparing to launch a White House run. Manchin is considered a likely leader of a presidential ticket backed by No Labels, a centrist organisation.
