Third-party group No Labels is expected to move forward with a 2024 campaign, AP sources say

WASHINGTON (AP) — The third-party presidential movement No Labels is planning to move toward fielding a presidential candidate in the November election, even as high-profile contenders for the ticket have decided not to run, two people familiar with the matter said Wednesday.

After months of leaving open whether the group would offer a ticket, No Labels delegates are expected to vote Friday in favor of launching a presidential campaign for this fall’s election, according to the people familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the group’s internal deliberations.

No Labels will not name its presidential and vice presidential picks on Friday, when roughly 800 delegates meet virtually in a private meeting. The group is instead expected to debut a formal selection process late next week for potential candidates who would be selected in the coming weeks, the people said.

Democratic President Joe Biden and Republican Donald Trump’s romp on Super Tuesday all but ensured a November rematch of the 2020 election.

Haley has shown his weakness so they have to act to ensure their right wing fascist gets chosen.

they announced that they wouldn’t run a candidate if they were just going to be a spoiler. Now they plan to mount a campaign when they can’t even get a candidate. Really hoping this whole charade crashes and burns quickly.
