Summary

Independent voters have been gaining numbers for years now and have become the largest voting bloc in the United, with registrations surpassing both the Republicans and Democrats. This increase has been fueled by voters tired of the major parties constant bickering and the wish for more options in elections. Independent voters were very influential in the 2024, especially in swing states, electing a Republican for the presidency but also helping Democrats win some key Senate seats. FOX’s Ryan Schmelz speaks with Adam Brandon, Senior Advisor at the Independent Center, an organization for info, research & engagement with independent voters, who says the number of registered Independents has grown quite a bit, along with their influence in our elections, and they are fed up with the two major parties.
