Hot off the press – The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is cooking up a spicy new plan to keep those pesky third-party contenders out of President Joe Biden’s way in the next election. According to The New York Times, fancy lawyers Dana Remus and Robert Lenhard are teaming up to make sure these other candidates don’t rain on Biden’s parade and pave the way for former President Donald Trump to make a comeback. Oh boy, the DNC is shaking in its boots at the thought of Trump swooping in and stealing the spotlight again!

It seems like independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the “Justice for All Party” star Cornel West, the Green Party, and even the No Labels crew are making moves to grab a piece of that sweet ballot access pie. The DNC is scrambling to gather a team of legal eagles, field experts, research nerds, and data wizards to keep a close eye on these outsider shenanigans. They want to make sure that these third-party troublemakers are legit political parties and not just random folks trying to bend the rules. I mean, who do they think they are, right?
Kennedy’s band of supporters is rallying behind the “We The People” party, and they’re making moves in states like Hawaii, California, Delaware, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Texas. They’ve already got a foot in the door in Utah and are eyeing spots on the ballot in New Hampshire, Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada. Lenhard is all about making sure that these ballot rules are tight so that it’s not just a game of who can grab the most attention. It’s like a political party battle royale out there!
Meanwhile, West is scoring points in Oregon, South Carolina, Alaska, and Utah, and the Green Party is making waves in 20 states and Washington, D.C. Even Jill Stein is stirring up the pot for a comeback. No Labels, the centrist cool cats, are prepping for a “Unity Ticket” takeoff in 2024 with their eyes set on 18 states. But wait, there’s a plot twist – the Democratic spokesperson seems to be plotting against these third-party contenders. They want to lay down the law and maybe even change the rules to keep their rivals at bay. Is this democracy in action or democracy in peril?
The DNC isn’t skimping on the drama either, they’ve rolled out their brand-new team to tackle these third-party disruptors. Legal battles, digging up dirt, and a whole lot of finger-pointing are on the menu. Already, Kennedy’s camp is feeling the heat with complaints flying left and right. Talk about a political showdown! It’s like a reality TV show, but with way more suits and ties.
The DNC, Kennedy, West, and No Labels are keeping mum for now, but you can bet your bottom dollar that this political drama is far from over. Will the third-party underdogs have their day in the sun, or will the DNC rain on their parade? Stay tuned for more twists and turns in the wild world of American politics! So, hold onto your hats, folks – it’s going to be a bumpy ride to the 2024 elections!
