(Congress Report) – Lots of Democrats are beginning to get worried about the possibility of a third party candidate running against President Joe Biden, especially if that individual happens to be someone who, for the most part, holds to many of the platform positions of a Democrat, but with some appeal to Independents as well. I am, of course, speaking of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Many on the left are deeply concerned that if he, or anyone like him, runs as a third-party candidate, it could potentially hand a victory over to former President Donald Trump in next year’s general election should he nab the GOP nomination.
Jack Davis of The Western Journal divulged, “Fears of what could happen with a third party were illustrated in a recent NBC poll, in which former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden each polled at 46 percent when the race was head-to-head, but Trump topped Biden 39 percent to 36 percent when a third-party candidate was factored in, according to NBC.”
These concerns apparently led to twice-failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton giving Biden some advice during a recent event held at the White House. NBC, citing a source it didn’t name, disclosed that Clinton spoke with Biden and told him to be prepared for the threat that a third party could represent for his reelection campaign and to come up with a plan for dealing with it.
“In 2016, Green Party candidate Jill Stein was labeled a spoiler by some for pulling away liberal votes that might have gone to Clinton, according to the U.K. Daily Mail,” Davis remarked.
Hillary is right. She lost PA, MI & WI to 3rd party voters. She only lost by 77k votes–3rd party were 800k votes.

“Context for the worries comes in the underlying message in the polls. Many Democrats are uneasy with Biden at the top of the ticket and might like another choice. A third party would then become an option for voters who will never support Trump but might be happy to avoid backing Biden as well,” the report continued.
“It’s pretty f***ing concerning,” NBC went on to quote “a person familiar with White House discussions about the matter” as stating.
“With a tight election, every vote counts,” an unnamed source called “a close Biden ally” said, according to NBC.”
“Is it in the back of many people’s brains? Absolutely. Do we have to be careful as we move out? Yes, we do.”
Another one of these “sources” told the network that Biden is worried about the situation.
One reason that many in the Biden camp are so troubled at the moment is due to the rise of an organization called No Labels, that is calling for a unity ticket. They’ve been gaining ballot access before even announcing a possible candidate to enter the race.
“No Labels is on the ballot in 11 states and hopes to reach every state by next November, according to the Associated Press,” Davis reported.
“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,” Rodd McLeod, a Democratic strategist in Arizona explained.
“Historically, third-party candidates have been a boost to Republicans. The same could be true with this cycle,” Michael Starr-Hopkins, a Democratic campaign operative and commentator affirmed, as per The Hill.
Again, a lot of talk is being had that the individual who could potentially be such a candidate is Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Kennedy, who is currently running against Biden in the Democratic Party, commented recently, saying that he’s leaving “options open.”
“The Times reported that in July, Kennedy met with Angela McArdle, the chair of the Libertarian Party,” Davis concluded.

Hillary is the Queen of Deception and Evil. If Hillary is warning Biden, it must be real nasty.
Anything Hillary says is irrelevant…nobody really cares what she thinks or says…she needs to stay home , keep her opinions to herself and drink her wine !!!
