Good news for President Biden…
“No Labels has always said we would only offer our ballot line to a ticket if we could identify candidates with a credible path to winning the White House. No such candidates emerged, so the responsible course of action is for us to stand down.”
The Wall Street Journal first broke the news Thursday of No Labels’s plans.
One of this cycle’s biggest questions was whether No Labels would move forward with a third-party ticket as a contrast to President Biden and former President Trump’s unpopularity with voters.
Leaders floated former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley as possible candidates before running through a list that grew narrower as more names fell off.
Last month, the group blew past its own deadline to give an update about its strategy, extending it to mid-April. And last week, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie joined a lengthy list of would-be recruits who preemptively turned down the position.
Democrats were keeping close tabs on No Labels as they devote more resources and targeted focus to third-party candidacies they deem as “spoilers.” But as weeks and months passed with no candidate, some recalibrated to concentrate on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. His choice of an ultra-wealthy running mate in Nicole Shanahan does not quell concerns of his potential longevity in the race….
Ha!
Ah Scott?
No Labels Director Will Vote for Biden
No Labels national director Joe Cunningham told Fox News that would vote for President Biden now that his group has said it will not launch a third-party candidate into the fray of the 2024 presidential election.
