Abstract In the ever-changing landscape of American politics, the dominance of the two-party system has never been challenged. Yet, an array of independent candidates, third parties, and alternative movements emerged to influence the political discourse in ways that are frequently ignored. These new voices strive to challenge the traditional political system, seeking an electoral success. Therefore, this research aims to explore the major factors that contributed to the rise of independent, as well as investigating the significant challenges that faced in overcoming the traditional two parties. To achieve this aim; this research employs a mixed-methods approach that integrates qualitative and quantitative analysis. The qualitative component will explore the depth of perspectives, while the quantitative methods will examine broader trends and patterns. Based on the evidence provided by this methodology, this research contended that the significant political divisions that the country has witnessed are the main incentives that led to the rise of independent view points and acceptability which correlated with the marginalization of the two parties.
