Former Sens. Joe Lieberman and Doug Jones faced-off in a debate over the viability of a bipartisan third-party presidential ticket in 2024 and whether that effort could serve as a spoiler in the race for the White House.
The former lawmakers debated whether the third-party group could be a spoiler.In this July 18, 2011, file photo, people with the group No Labels hold signs during a rally on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.Former Sens. Joe Lieberman and Doug Jones appeared Sunday on ABC's "This Week" to debate-- and whether that effort could serve as a spoiler in the race for the White House.
"Those polls right now mean nothing," he shot back at Lieberman, referencing reticence for both Biden and Trump. "This past weekend, you saw that the Biden-Harris team raised $70 million, 30% of those were new donors," Jones added. "That is not a candidate that is being rejected by the American people."
Lieberman has experience facing third party bids himself: As the Democratic vice-presidential nominee in 2000, he and presidential hopeful Al Gore lost Florida by a few hundred votes in a state where the Green Party's Ralph Nader got nearly 100,000 ballots, with Lieberman at the time calling any vote for Nader actually a vote for opponent George W. Bush.
