One party worked harder to build a bigger tent in 2024

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

86% : While Harris wouldn't even meet with Kennedy, Trump won his endorsement.
41% : The fact that Stein's liberal Green Party voters also may have broken toward Trump underscores the impact of Republicans' different approach.
27% : In Michigan, where Stein campaigned to significant numbers of Arab-American voters opposed to Biden's Middle East policies, Democrats acted as if those voters would not turn to Trump.
25% : Trump risked boos at the Libertarian Party convention, but it paid off in November -- Libertarian presidential nominee Chase Oliver's 0.4% vote share was the lowest in a generation.
25% : In Michigan and Wisconsin, among other states, Democrats ran negative ads that suggested a vote for Stein was a vote for Trump and that she was a "puppet" of Vladimir Putin.
24% : They feared Trump winning states with less than half the vote and assumed that reducing votes for Kennedy and Stein would mean more for Harris.
4% : Polling indicates that by August, Kennedy had become more of a "spoiler" for Donald Trump than Kamala Harris.
