Politics

No Labels, a centrist group, has decided not to form a third-party presidential unity ticket for the upcoming election due to the lack of credible candidates with a path to winning the White House. High-profile figures like Chris Christie and Nikki Haley rebuffed the group's offers. Joe Lieberman's recent passing also impacted the group's efforts. No Labels had aimed to provide moderate voters with an alternative to Biden and Trump but will now focus on advocating bipartisan solutions leading up to the election.

Struggle to Find Presidential Candidate for Centrist Third-Party Ticket


No Labels, an outside organization aiming to field a centrist third-party presidential ticket, has faced challenges finding a candidate. High-profile politicians like Chris Christie, Joe Manchin, Larry Hogan, and Geoff Duncan have rejected offers. Concerns about potential spoiler roles for candidates like Liz Cheney and Nikki Haley have deterred some. Christie was put off by financial and preparation concerns, including outdated lists of running mates. No Labels faces a deadline to name its ticket next month, with doubts about finding a suitable candidate.

No Labels to Discuss Potential Third-Party Presidential Movement in 2024


No Labels, a third-party presidential movement, will convene a meeting on March 8 with 800 delegates from all 50 states to debate the possibility of launching an independent candidacy for the White House. The organization has raised substantial funds privately and aims to form a unity ticket with candidates from both major parties. Despite facing criticism and setbacks, No Labels plans to evaluate its 2024 project and ballot access in all states before potentially announcing a presidential ticket before April 15. Leading figures like Sen. Joe Manchin have opted out of running for president under the No Labels banner.

No Labels push for third-party candidate to challenge Biden and Trump in 2024


No Labels, a bipartisan group, aims to field a third-party 'unity ticket' to contest against President Biden and Donald Trump in the 2024 election. Despite efforts, prominent figures like Nikki Haley, Larry Hogan, and Joe Manchin have declined. Concerns are rising that a third-party contender could siphon votes from Biden. The group faces time constraints to select a candidate with state deadlines for ballot access approaching. Bill Clinton reportedly advised Hogan and Manchin against running, warning of potentially aiding Trump's re-election. Hogan shifted focus to a Senate bid, while Manchin ruled out a 2024 White House run.

No Labels Announces Process to Select Candidates for Bipartisan Presidential Ticket


No Labels, a third-party organization, revealed its plan to choose candidates for a potential bipartisan presidential ticket in November's general election. The group formed a committee, including former Sen. Joe Lieberman, to vet contenders who align with their six core beliefs and endorse the No Labels policy booklet. If two candidates meet their criteria, a nomination vote will be held at a national convention later this spring. The organization aims to provide an alternative to the Democratic and Republican nominees, with discussions focusing on potential contenders like former Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan of Georgia.

No Labels delegates vote to continue pursuing a third-party presidential ticket


The third-party organization No Labels held a virtual 800-person delegate meeting Friday, where the members voted to move forward with the process of forming a presidential ticket to run in the 2024 election against President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. While the vote reaffirmed No Labels' longstanding project, it's still unclear what happens next. An official ticket was not announced at this meeting, but the group says it is moving forward with discussions with potential individuals. They voted near unanimously to continue our 2024 project and to move immediately to identify candidates to serve on the Unity presidential ticket. Every one of our delegates had their own explanation for wanting to move ahead," said No Labels convention chairman Mike Rawlings.

No Labels Group Decides Not to Launch a Third-Party Presidential Campaign in the US Election


The No Labels group, known for its bipartisan stance in US politics, announced it will not field a third-party candidate for the upcoming presidential election against Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Despite efforts to recruit high-profile centrists, no credible candidate emerged, leading to the decision. This underscores the challenges faced by third-party groups in the US where Democrats and Republicans dominate. Notable figures like Joe Manchin and Larry Hogan declined potential runs under No Labels. The decision is welcomed by Democrats, leaving Robert F Kennedy Jr as a notable outsider candidate for the presidency.

Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan announced that he will not run for president as a No Labels third-party candidate in 2024, focusing instead on improving the Republican Party. No Labels, a centrist group, aims to field a presidential ticket challenging both President Biden and former President Trump. Other potential candidates like Nikki Haley and Larry Hogan have also declined. No Labels seeks a unity ticket to offer an alternative to Trump and Biden, with concerns from Democrats about potential impacts on Biden's reelection.

Chris Christie Decides Against Running as No Labels Candidate for President


Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has decided against running as the No Labels candidate for president, citing the lack of a viable pathway to victory and the risk of helping Donald Trump get re-elected. No Labels, a centrist third party, has been struggling to find high-profile candidates amidst concerns over the major-party contenders, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump. Christie's decision leaves the group with limited options for potential candidates despite efforts to recruit suitable nominees.

Trumps alleged bloody hand incident attributed to a small cut


Campaign officials have explained that the apparent bloody hand seen on Donald Trump was the result of a small cut, possibly a paper cut, that was not properly wiped off. Meanwhile, nonprofit group No Labels has sent a letter to the Department of Justice alleging a racketeering conspiracy to stop its 2024 campaign and has requested an investigation. No Labels currently has ballot access in 14 states and is in talks with potential candidates, with a potential ticket rollout in April. Independent/undeclared voters in New Hampshire make up the largest portion of the electorate, and both Nikki Haley and Rep. Dean Phillips have been targeting these voters in their campaigns.

Nonpartisan group No Labels considers Nikki Haley for potential unity presidential ticket, but Haleys campaign rejects the idea


Nonpartisan group No Labels would consider including Nikki Haley in their potential unity presidential ticket if she expresses interest, according to Joe Lieberman, the group's national co-chair. However, Haley's campaign has rejected the idea, stating that she has no interest in No Labels and is content with being a Republican candidate for president. Despite this, No Labels views Haley positively and would prefer her to win the GOP nomination as she is considered a mainstream Republican. If Haley secures the nomination, No Labels would likely not field a separate ticket.

2024 No Labels Primary: Rep Dean Phillips considers presidential run on No Labels ticket if Democratic primary campaign fails


Representative Dean Phillips (D-Minn) has stated that he would consider running for president on the No Labels ticket if his Democratic primary campaign against President Joe Biden is unsuccessful. This comes as there is a significant enthusiasm gap between Donald Trump and Nikki Haley in New Hampshire, with Trump leading Haley by 19 points in the Suffolk University tracking poll. The poll also shows that Trump supporters overwhelmingly vote for him, while Haley voters see her as a means to defeat the former president.

Senator Joe Manchin Refuses to Endorse President Biden, Criticizes Political Atmosphere and Focuses on Moderate Politics


Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia declined to endorse President Joe Biden for the 2024 presidential election, citing concerns about Biden's policies veering too far to the left. Manchin, who is retiring from politics, criticized the collapse of a bipartisan bill in the Senate and blamed Donald Trump for his decision to quit, also highlighting the border security issue. He has decided not to run for president or support any current candidates, focusing instead on his new group, Americans Together, which promotes moderate politics. No Labels is still considering options for a third-party presidential candidate after Manchin's decision.
