Could a 3rd party candidate decide the US election?

With just a week to go before Election Day, the race between Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump is neck-and-neck. But, in a contest this close, third-party candidates could quietly play a pivotal role. Historically, candidates from the Green Party, Libertarian Party, and Independents have influenced the outcomes in key battleground states, sometimes by just a few thousand votes. This year, polls show that even a small percentage of votes going to third-party contenders like Cornel West, Jill Stein, or Chase Oliver could tip the scales. To tell more about this, Seán is joined by Harry Browne, lecturer in the School of Media in TU Dublin.
