No Labels Votes To Go Forward With Independent Presidential Ticket

-

The political group No Labels has voted to move forward with its plan to enter the presidential race.

On Friday, hundreds of state delegates reportedly convened for a private meeting to approve the organization's plan to push an independent ticket.

The Hill reports:

“Earlier today, I led a discussion with the 800 delegates from all 50 states. These citizen leaders have spent months discussing with one another the kind of leadership they want to see in the in 2024,” No Labels National Convention Chair Mike Rawlings wrote in a statement.

“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,” he added.

“Now that No Labels has received the go ahead from our delegates, we'll be accelerating our candidate outreach and announcing the process for how candidates will be selected for the Unity Ticket on Thursday, March 14,” he added.

No Labels leaders have asserted that voters are extremely dissatisfied with Biden and Trump, setting up a case for a third-party candidacy. 

The group has indicated they are open to both Democrats and Republicans and would ideally serve as a “unity” option for dissatisfied voters.
