The fight for Nikki Haley Never Trump vote?
The third-party presidential movement No Labels could feature former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan as a White House contender atop a “unity” ticket after several high-profile candidates decided against running.
The group’s 800 delegates from 50 states voted Friday to field an independent candidate at virtual meeting this week, and an official with direct knowledge of the negotiations said Duncan, a Republican, could be tapped to lead the effort.
Duncan, a Republican, an outspoken critic of Donald Trump and his allies since the 2020 election, penned a book detailing his vision of a “GOP 2.0″ that moves beyond divisive rhetoric.
He also is a frequent contrarian within his party. He refused to endorse Herschel Walker, the Trump-backed Senate nominee, in 2022 and also wouldn’t support the campaign of his successor, Lt. Gov. Burt Jones. Both were Trump loyalists.
And he was a key witness in the Fulton County election-interference trial against Trump and his allies, testifying before the grand jury shortly before District Attorney Fani Willis announced indictments against the former president and 18 co-defendants.
With polls showing many voters dreading a rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, No Labels sees an opening for a third-party bid. The group has also built a considerable cash stockpile from donors it has refused to disclose.
But Biden supporters worry the attempt will hurt the Democrat in battlegrounds like Georgia, where fewer than 12,000 votes decided the 2020 race. Biden became the first Democrat to flip the state since 1992…..
Update…
“The centrist group No Labels held a vote of delegates Friday and announced plans to move forward in seeking candidates for a third-party presidential run. Multiple news organizations have treated this as a significant event, reporting that the group’s intent to run a third-party ticket is very much alive and forging ahead,” the New Republic reports.
“But audio of the call on which the vote was held suggests another interpretation may be more accurate: The group really has no idea whether it will be able to move forward at all. It still appears stuck in the same position as before: No serious candidates appear interested, and there’s no sign that this is changing, at least not yet.”
