President Biden is not just concerned about potential Republican opponents; he also has to watch out for possible third-party candidates who could potentially draw votes away from the Democrats. One name causing a buzz among Democrats is Senator Joe Manchin from West Virginia. Speculation suggests that Manchin, pushed by the centrist No Labels group, may run on a third-party “unity ticket” in 2024. While Manchin hasn’t committed to anything yet, his candidacy could be a double blow to Democrats. Not only would they lose a valuable senator, but they would also face the risk of losing West Virginia, a predominantly red state.

Another potential threat to the Democrats’ White House chances is Cornel West, the popular academic running for president under the Green Party banner. While West may be considered a minor candidate, he could still play a significant role in critical states, siphoning off Democratic votes.

Despite these concerns, Democrats can find solace in their recent victory in confirming Kalpana Kotagal as Biden’s nominee for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). With Kotagal’s confirmation, the EEOC will have a Democratic majority for the first time in years. This spells a greater progressive influence on EEOC policymaking, as the commission grapples with important issues like artificial intelligence bias and the enforcement of laws against pregnancy discrimination in the workplace. However, it’s worth noting that Kotagal’s nomination faced strong opposition from many business groups, resulting in a narrow Senate vote in her favor.
