I disagree I think he hurts the Dem and helps the Republican. It’s two anti Trump candidates vs the R, who I assume won’t be stupid and run from Trump.
Not in this case. Rich is badly underfunded, a low end of the second tier candidates running for federal office, and has been stuck between 25-29% in the polls. He’s not going to magically move ahead of Heinrich. Heinrich is mediocre, to be sure, and doesn’t have 50% in the polls, but the Dem base in NM can still carry him even if he drops to the mid 40s. Johnson & Rich are seen as coming from the opposition (as opposed to Heinrich & Johnson) and will divide more than 50% of the vote, unfortunately.
