Yes, I actually expect the House to flip to majority Democratic. But in the scenario where no presidential candidate gets 270 and the vote is thrown to the House, the delegation from each state gets one vote and the Republicans have more states. [/quote]

How long has it been since a 3rd party candidate actually won a state?[/quote]

George Wallace in 1968. He won 5 states and 46 electoral college votes. Nixon still carried 301 EC votes to win the Presidency outright, while Humphrey had 191.

Perot didn’t win any states in 1992[/quote]

Correct. Perot secured 19% of the total vote running against the political powerhouses Clinton and GHWB. Imagine what a viable 3rd party candidate could do against the elderly and unpopular Trump and Biden.[/quote]

Can't imagine third party winning a single state.[/quote]

Someone has to win them. [/quote]

Third party candidates do not win states.  Not for many decades.  What state will elect and third party candidate and who?[/quote]

The 2024 election is different from any past presidential election in modern times. We've never had two presumed to be well in advance nominees as unpopular as Trump and Biden. If Ross Perot can garner 19% of the total votes running against studs like Clinton and Bush, imagine what a more qualified and more well known candidate than Perot could do against Trump and Biden. [/quote]

Sure.  Name the third party candidate and how many electoral college votes they are winning in which states.  This should be good.[/quote]

That 3rd party candidate hasn't emerged yet so this is impossible to answer. They might not emerge. Until they do, the race is between Trump and Biden. The appetite for a legitimate 3rd party candidate is more apparent than it has ever been in our lifetimes so the opportunity is there for the taking. We'll know if Trump and Biden will have any real competition by March/April. Until then, we're stuck with the Trump or Biden choice and yes, it's fair to discount RFK Jr. and other 3rd party candidates currently in the race as they aren't legitimate contenders even against Trump and Biden.[/quote]

Impossible because there isn't one name or state you could propose that would answer the question.[/quote]

Correct because there is no viable 3rd party candidate in the race at this point. [/quote]

It's late January 2024 and you can't even come up with a viable suggestion that could win even a single state.[/quote]
