No Labels, a political organization, aims to transcend the conventional partisan divisions in Washington, DC. The group is actively pursuing ballot access nationwide to field third-party candidates in the upcoming November elections. The national director has hinted at the prospect of introducing a new potential candidate.
During an appearance on “Fox and Friends Sunday” on February 25, Joe Cunningham, the National Director of No Labels, addressed the forthcoming presidential election. He expressed the party’s pursuit of exceptional individuals capable of appealing to Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike. Cunningham specifically mentioned former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley as someone of definite interest to them.
Cunningham further mentioned that the party has already obtained ballot access in 16 states and expressed confidence in achieving access in all 50 states. While No Labels has not disclosed specific candidates, they have previously stated their intention to have a Republican lead the ticket with a Democrat as the vice presidential candidate.
In recent months, speculations emerged regarding Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) contemplating a vice presidential candidacy, but it seems he has opted not to pursue it. When questioned, Cunningham refrained from identifying specific candidates. He mentioned that the party is currently in discussions with numerous outstanding individuals; however, they are not prepared to announce them at this time.
Haley is presently competing for the GOP presidential nomination but is trailing behind former President Donald Trump and is highly unlikely to succeed. Nonetheless, she has pledged to continue her candidacy despite facing slim chances of victory.
Several polls released in early February indicated that Haley would outperform the incumbent president in a direct competition in November. However, unless she chooses to run as a third-party contender, it’s improbable for her to appear on the general election ballot. Even if No Labels nominates her as their primary candidate, her chances of winning are minimal.
