Democrats fear repeating history from third-party challengers threatening Biden's 2024 bid
Top Democrats, including those close to Joe Biden, are moving to dull the possibility that not one but two third-party challengers could siphon away critical votes in the upcoming election.
“The third parties can take away enough votes to make Donald Trump win,” said Celinda Lake, a pollster for Biden in 2020. “Not only do you have No Labels, but you have Cornel West, which I think is very formidable also in the Black community and among young people. And I think that there were a lot of people, young people, disaffected people, who were willing to vote against Trump — anybody but Trump — to beat Trump.
“I fundamentally believe that you don’t mess around with the kinds of highest stakes we’re [dealing] with,” said Sen. in an interview when asked about West. “Can you just imagine what a second term of Trump would be? It’s all going to be about revenge.” In June, he dismissed the idea that he could draw away Biden votes by saying that “when somebody chooses to vote for you, you’re not pulling votes away. You see, Biden doesn’t own any votes. He’s got to earn it.”
