Question

What is a third party? Can you name any modern-day or historical third parties in the United States?

Answer 1

A third party is a party that doesn’t align with the two main groups that are involved. During the 2020 election, a third party candidate was Jo Jorgensen. She won about 4% of the popular vote. She ran as a third party candidate to democratic nominee Joe Biden and Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Answer 2

A third party is one that is not one of the traditional two in America: Republican and Democrat. Right now, the Libertarian, Green, and Constitution parties are some examples of third parties.
