Hillary Clinton warned Biden during private meeting at the White House.
Democrats Fear Third-Party Candidate Could Spell Disaster in 2024 Election
According to Democrats, the emergence of a third-party candidate in the 2024 presidential election could lead to potential disaster. This concern was highlighted in a recent NBC poll, which showed that former President Donald Trump would surpass President Joe Biden if a third-party candidate entered the race. The fear of spoilers boosting Trump has prompted Hillary Clinton to caution Biden about this threat and urge him to prepare for it.
In the 2016 election, Green Party candidate Jill Stein was accused of being a spoiler by drawing away liberal votes that could have gone to Clinton. This history has only intensified worries among Democrats about the impact of a third-party candidate.
Hillary is right. She lost PA, MI & WI to 3rd party voters. She only lost by 77k votes–3rd party were 800k votes.

The concerns stem from the underlying message in the polls, which reveal that many Democrats are uneasy with Biden as the top candidate and may prefer an alternative choice. This opens the door for a third-party option that could attract voters who refuse to support Trump but are also hesitant to back Biden.
“It’s pretty f***ing concerning,” said a person familiar with White House discussions. The tightness of the election makes every vote crucial, and the potential impact of a third-party candidate is weighing heavily on the minds of Biden’s allies.
Biden himself is worried about this situation, according to sources.
The unease within Biden’s circle has been fueled by the rise of No Labels, a group advocating for a unity ticket. No Labels has already gained ballot access in 11 states and aims to be on the ballot in every state by next November.
“If they have someone on the ballot who is designed to bring the country together, that clearly draws votes away from Joe Biden and does not draw votes away from Donald Trump,” said a Democratic strategist.
Historically, third-party candidates have tended to benefit Republicans, and this cycle could be no different, warns a Democratic campaign operative and commentator.
While Black academic Cornel West has announced his candidacy, another potential third-party candidate has recently emerged — Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has recently expressed that he is keeping his options open, and there have been reports of his meeting with the chair of the Libertarian Party.

How is the rise of No Labels and their advocacy for a unity ticket contributing to the concerns of Democrats about the potential influence of a third-party candidate in the 2024 election
The 2024 election is at risk due to the possibility of a third-party candidate. Democrats fear that such a candidate could spell disaster for their party’s chances of victory.
The concern over a third-party candidate was highlighted in a recent NBC poll, which showed that former President Donald Trump would surpass President Joe Biden if a third-party candidate entered the race. This has prompted Hillary Clinton to caution Biden about this threat and urge him to prepare for it.
The fears among Democrats stem from the history of third-party candidates in previous elections. In the 2016 election, Green Party candidate Jill Stein was accused of being a spoiler by drawing away liberal votes that could have gone to Clinton. This has only intensified worries among Democrats about the impact of a third-party candidate.
The concerns are based on the underlying message in the polls, which reveal that many Democrats are uneasy with Biden as the top candidate and may prefer an alternative choice.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has recently expressed that he is keeping his options open, and there have been reports of his meeting with the chair of the Libertarian Party. This suggests that he may indeed be considering an independent run in the upcoming election.
Overall, the fear of a third-party candidate in the 2024 election looms large for Democrats. The potential for such a candidate to draw away votes from Biden and boost Trump is a significant concern among Biden’s allies and strategists. With the tightness of the election and the importance of every vote, Democrats are urged to prepare for this potential disaster and find ways to address the concerns of voters who may be swayed by a third-party option.
