The Communist Party has run candidates for president in some states. They have never had a serious candidate for any high office in America. The Communist Party has been banned at times because of a platform calling for the violent overthrow of the US Government. CPUSA crusader Gus Hall was nominated for President four times (1972, 76, 80 and 84). He did not win much support. His best year was probably 1980, when he garnered less than one-tenth of one percent of the vote, about 58,700 votes nationwide.
