Pretty much every presidential election includes third-party candidates who may not win but can impact major-party nominees. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is polling well this year, causing concern for both Biden and Trump. The DNC has a war room, led by Lis Smith, to address third-party threats like Kennedy.
The DNC effort is the first of its kind to track independent and third-party candidates, aiming to prevent them from playing a spoiler role as in past elections. Smith oversees communications for this team, an initiative motivated by the lessons of 2000 and 2016.
