Is the Forward party a spoiler? Chair Christie Whitman says there isn't a working system to spoil

WNYC News | Aug 4, 2022
Former New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman is a co-chair of a the Forward party, hoping to appeal to those seeking another option, somewhere to the center of Republicans and Democrats. She heads the organization alongside former presidential and New York gubernatorial candidate Andrew Yang.
Whitman spoke with Kerry Nolan on WNYC's Morning Edition Thursday to talk about the Forward party, the criticisms it has faced, and the prospects for meeting in the middle.
