Special Episode: Kanye West 2020 and What Third-Party Candidates Mean for Your Race
from How to Win a Campaign · host Joe Fuld, Martín Diego Garcia, The Campaign Workshop, TCW
What do U.S. Senators Bernie Sanders, Angus King, and Lisa Murkowski and rapper Kanye West have in common? They’ve all been third-party candidates! But, three of them have been legitimate third-party candidates, and one is more of a spoiler. Tune in to this special episode to learn what a third-party candidate means for your campaign and how you need to respond. A third-party candidate running in your race could just be a perennial candidate who runs for office as a hobby, or it could be a real threat to your chances of winning. As Joe and Martín point out, the worst thing you can do is ignore them. Also be sure to check out The Campaign Workshop’s Where’s Kanye?
