Former members of the US Republican and Democratic parties issued a joint statement.
They notified the general public about the creation of a third political party.
The initiators of the idea call the goal of their project to attract to the new political force those citizens who are alarmed by the “dysfunctional two-party system of America.”
MIA Rossiya Segodnya reported this with reference to the Reuters agency, citing its own sources.
They told the publication that they want to form a new party by merging three political forces: the Renew America Movement, the Forward Party (founded by former US Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang) and the Serve America Movement organization.
At the origins of the creation of the third US party are “dozens of former officials” from Republicans and Democrats.
They want to appeal to the millions of voters “who are dismayed by America’s dysfunctional two-party system.”
The party was named Forward. The aforementioned Mr. Young and former Republican Governor of New Jersey Christine Whitman were chosen as its co-chairs.
The leaders of the third party have gathered to hold a number of events in two dozen cities across the country this fall, the agency notes.
