A surge of independent and third-party candidates are emerging in the presidential race, presenting a potential alternative for the 75% of Americans who no longer resonate with traditional political figures like Joe Biden and Donald Trump. This episode of Who Is delves into the profiles of notable contenders.

Some of these contenders include Cornel West, a lifelong socialist advocating for a wealth tax and LGBTQIA+ rights; Jill Stein, who focuses on issues like the Green New Deal; and RFK Jr., who is known for vaccine-related conspiracy theories and advocating for a higher minimum wage.

The episode also sheds light on lesser-known candidates such as Peter Sonski, nominated by the American Solidarity Party, and Michael Wood who is representing the Prohibition Party, which addresses alcohol as a national health crisis. The discussion touches on their stances, including Sonski's opposition to abortion and marriage equality.

Although the historical rarity of independent presidents is evident, the rising opposition of mainstream options may affect the likelihood of an independent candidate winning in the upcoming elections.
