A "Kingmaker scenario" generally refers to a situation in politics, gaming, or other competitive environments where one party (the "kingmaker") holds significant influence over the selection or election of a leader or winner, despite not being a candidate themselves. This influence can be exercised through various means, such as strategic alliances, endorsements, or the ability to sway voters or other influential figures.
