Democratic strategist James Carville says third-party presidential candidates will receive “a ton of votes” in 2024.
“I'm just saying, third parties are going to get a lot of votes in 2024,” Carville said. “Unless something really changes, and it's hard for me to see that change.”
Carville talked about the Iowa caucuses on a recent episode of his podcast, “Politics War Room,” and commented that it wasn't very impressive for former President Trump, who received 51% of the vote.

Carville said the numbers, which he considered a “less impressive opponent,” showed “serious doubts among more than just a segment of the Republican Party” about Trump. He said the same is true for President Biden among Democrats.
“It's hard to imagine an uninspired election when the third parties are doing so well,” Carville said.

The strategist later said he feared such a scenario could cost Biden and Democrats votes.
“I don't know, but that's the big fear for me,” he added.
Carville predicted that if a third-party candidate were to run in 2024, he would receive more than 3% of the vote.

Carville has been outspoken about some of his concerns about Biden. He previously said he was told by leading Democrats to stop discussing the president's difficult path to re-election while harping on about his poll numbers and lackluster popularity.
“Nobody said, 'James, you're wrong,'” he said in October. “They're saying, 'James, you can't say that.'”
