Contenders or spoilers? How RFK Jr. and third parties could affect Nevada’s presidential race

from Ballot Battleground: Nevada · host KRNV

Independent presidential candidate RFK Jr. will be on Nevada's ballot in November after officially filing with the state this month. He's a longshot to win the White House, polling at around 5% currently. But is that enough to spoil the election for Harris or Trump? Or is the worry about a spoiler overblown? UNLV political science professor Dan Lee joins the podcast this week to talk about how third party and independent candidates have fared in Nevada history - and whether this cycle will be any different. (Note: This episode was recorded on Monday, before a judge ruled the Green Party can be on the 2024 ballot) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
