Georgia’s top election official has greenlit a trio of independent and third-party presidential candidates after an administration law judge said they should not appear on the ballot this November.

Georgians casting ballots this November will have the option to choose from among at least three presidential candidates. Others say they have earned the right for a shot at the White House, but the Democratic Party of Georgia is trying to keep them out of the running. Four third party presidential candidates say they are preparing to fight challenges from state Democrats to their ability to appear on the ballot this November.

On Thursday, June 27, hundreds of protesters gathered at night in Midtown Atlanta ahead of the presidential debate between Democratic President Joe Biden and Republican candidate former President Donald Trump.

West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin talks to NPR's Michel Martin about Joe Biden, Donald Trump and Nikki Haley, and his decisions against another run for the Senate or a new bid for president.

After speculation the powerful centrist Democrat would run third-party, Manchin announced Friday he would not be running for president in the 2024 election. But he did not endorse a candidate.

No Labels, the political group focused on a third-party run, is trying to get on the ballot in all 50 states. Prominent Democrats, including former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, are raising concerns.
