00:00 No president has been elected in the United States under the "independent" label since

00:03 George Washington in 1789.

00:05 Although 2024 does not seem to be heading towards such a scenario, an unabashed election

00:11 by a duel between Biden and Trump could turn to a third way, which could disrupt

00:16 the election.

00:17 The Americans have clearly signified this in the polls, they do not want a match-up

00:21 between Joe Biden and Donald Trump in November.

00:24 The political system in the United States, where two parties crush all competition,

00:29 leaves little chance that an alternative candidate will settle in the White House in 2025.

00:33 Experts, however, estimate that these candidacies could have a significant impact on

00:38 an election that is expected to be tight.

00:39 Democrats remember in particular how the party candidate, Vergil Stein, had started

00:45 Hillary Clinton's chances of winning the presidential election in 2016 against Donald Trump.

00:50 The ecologist is back this year alongside other alternative candidates, such as

00:54 anti-racist activist Cornel West, or Robert F. Kennedy Jr. whose name resonates

00:59 around the world as the echo of a political dynasty.

01:02 Political consultant Doug Lamakinon, who worked at the White House under Ronald Reagan

01:07 and George Bush, estimates that the nephew of JFK will turn the election into a real

01:12 competition for three candidates.

01:13 And for those who doubt it, he recalls how a multitude of experts and commentators

01:18 mocked Donald Trump's chances in 2016.

01:21 The words and warnings of "Robert F." Kennedy now resonates among young voters

01:27 here in the United States, wrote Doug Lamakinon recently in a The Hill tribune.

01:31 Polls.

01:32 However, opinions differ to know which candidate is the most threatened by RFK Jr.

01:38 . who frequently shares conspiracy theories about vaccines and aversion to

01:42 aid to Ukraine.

01:43 Two themes more widespread within the Trumpian electorate.

01:47 Joe Biden and Donald Trump are at the top of the list in the average of polls

01:51 established by RealClearPolitik.

01:52 But if we add Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to the equation, the latter collects 17% of the

01:58 voting intentions while the former Republican president has five points ahead of his

02:02 Democratic successor.

02:03 For Kyle Kondik, a political analyst at the University of Virginia, however, it is necessary

02:09 to be careful with his polls, which often artificially inflate the support

02:14 for independent candidates.

02:15 These usually start with great ambitions before they burst.

02:19 "All the difficulty for these little candidates lies in the ability to raise funds for

02:24 would not be what appeared on the screen," he says.

02:28 But according to the analyst, the polls which include all potential candidates generally show

02:32 that Joe Biden is more at ease with his candidacies than Donald Trump.

02:37 Zombies.

02:38 Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ., Jill Stein, and Cornel West could be joined by other

02:43 candidates aspiring to the White House, like the former Republican candidate against Trump

02:47 Liz Cheney.

02:48 "A group called No Label, no label, also wants to propose a candidate for election

02:53 or for November, against the candidates of the two major parties that create the E-Division,"

02:57 he says.

02:58 In 2016, Jill Stein had won only 20% of the votes but her total in several states

03:04 that were won by Donald Trump was more important than the gap in votes between the Republican

03:08 and Hillary Clinton.

03:09 An American parliamentary report published in 2018 had stated that Moscow had behind the scenes

03:14 promoted publications on social networks supporting Jill Stein, leading Hillary Clinton

03:18 to qualify her as a Russian agent.
