Third-Party Candidates Pose Potential Disruption in Key Battleground States

The presence of third-party candidates in key battleground states could have a significant impact on the outcome of the 2024 presidential election. In states like Wisconsin and Michigan, Democrats remain wary of progressive vote splitting, while Libertarian-leaning candidates like Oliver could siphon votes from both major parties. In states like Georgia and Pennsylvania, third-party candidates are expected to have a smaller impact, but their presence could still complicate the race. The 2024 election cycle is likely to see a surge in third-party candidates, highlighting the challenges faced by major parties in capturing and retaining support in highly contested battlegrounds.
