The centrist political group No Labels will not run a third-party “unity” ticket in this year’s presidential election, saying it was unable to find a candidate with a credible path to victory. https://twitter.com/MeidasTouch/status/1775957353302839662 From Meidas Touch:
This decision is a major win for the Biden-Harris campaign which has long sought to avoid having a third-party candidate to deal with on the ballot.
Nancy Jacobson, the group’s founder, said to supporters that No Labels has been unable to recruit a legitimate general election ticket that could see success in November.
Previously, No Labels reached out to a number of former Democrats and Republicans, including West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, to run as a third-party ticket in opposition to President Biden.
Along the way, No Labels had reached out to several possible candidates including former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and more. All passed on the offer. There’s still the issue of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running for president as an Independent in this year’s election. From the latest polling via Quinnipiac:
In a head-to-head presidential election matchup, 48 percent of voters support President Joe Biden and 45 percent support former President Donald Trump. This is virtually unchanged from Quinnipiac University’s February 21 poll.
When the matchup is expanded to include independent and Green Party candidates, Trump receives 39 percent support, Biden receives 38 percent support, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. receives 13 percent support, Green Party candidate Jill Stein receives 4 percent support, and independent candidate Cornel West receives 3 percent support.
