83% Informative

Third -party vote share is likely to be closer to what it was in 2020 ( about 2 percent ) than in 2016 ( about 6 percent ) Jill Stein is on the ballot in every swing state except Nevada .

Independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was once seen as a potential spoiler for both Trump and Biden .

Third -party candidates have some potential to cut into both Harris and Trump ’s vote margins in states that they need to win.

None of them have the support the above four have managed to eke out, however.

Still, the results of the election might not be any different if they were not on the ballot.
