No. The Republicans and the Democrats are very unlikely to let this happen.

A single-issue party likely faces significant obstacles in gaining wide acceptance in the U.S. due to the entrenched two-party system which favors broader coalitions. The complex political landscape and voter preference for comprehensive platforms pose additional challenges for such parties. ;

While single-issue parties can appeal to specific groups, they face challenges in gaining broad acceptance due to the strong two-party system, competition for votes, and limited media coverage. Historical examples show that single-issue movements can influence mainstream parties, but the current political landscape presents significant barriers. Niche support may exist in certain regions, but overall success is unlikely.
