What Happened to the Minor Party Presidential Candidacies?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : With more than 97 percent of the national popular vote counted, Trump leads Harris by 1.8 percent (50.1 to 48.3 percent); together they won 98.4 percent of the vote, leaving just 1.6 percent to the rest of the field, less than the notably low 1.9 percent they received four years earlier, and far less than the 5.7 percent they won in 2016.
44% : Kennedy's zombie candidacy remained on the ballot in 33 states, despite his endorsement of Trump, and he finish fourth just a hair behind Stein.
25% : In the end, the non-major party threat faded, with the pressure to choose between Harris and Trump increased by the enormous stakes of the contest and the very close race being shown by the polls.
14% : Some of that disdain may have been generated by the particular options on offer: two chronically unpopular old men named Biden and Trump.
