The United States is a two party system which means two major political parties have control of most of the government. Third parties consists of any political party besides the two major parties. Third parties have a much smaller amount of national support compared to the major parties. Since the U.S. has an electoral college and most states are “winner take all”, this means that third parties have to somehow overcome the support of the two major political parties to gain electoral votes. This form of government makes it difficult for third parties to accumulate enough national support to become president. Without a viable chance of winning, news agencies tend to limit the amount of airtime given to third party candidates.
