Can America Elect An Independent?

As President Biden's approvals continue to fall following a report from Special Counsel Robert Tur that he is not mentally fit to stand trial, Independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr spent 7 million dollars on a Super Bowl ad, invoking the 1960 campaign of his uncle former President John F. Kennedy. Ben revisits a monologue shared after Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) announced that he will not seek re-election for his seat in 2024, but rather will be "traveling the country and speaking out, to see if there is an interest in creating a movement to mobilize the middle and bring Americans together."  Ben gives an in-depth history of Senator Manchin and why his potential third-party run should be taken far more seriously than previous candidacies.
