Top Democratic strategists, including current advisers to President Biden and former U.S. senators, met last week with former Republicans who oppose Donald Trump at the offices of a downtown D.C. think tank.
Their mission: to figure out how to best subvert a potential third-party presidential bid by the group No Labels, an effort they all agreed risked undermining Bidens reelection campaign and reelecting former president Donald Trump to the White House.
The broad show of force at the off-the-record gathering with about 40 people in the room and others appearing on Zoom on the anniversary of D-Day was just the latest sign of a growing concern in some political circles about the No Labels effort to get ballot access to challenge the major-party candidates next year.....
I see a group, under a catchy slogan that is misleading at best, saying that they have the countrys best interest at heart when the exercise will do nothing but elect Donald Trump, said Richmond, who like Klain and Caldwell told The Washington Post that they attended in their personal capacities. I am encouraged that a lot of people share the concern that this effort is dangerous.....
People who attended the June 6 meeting described presentations from recent polling and focus groups that suggested a No Labels campaign would draw more support from Biden than Trump in a hypothetical three-way matchup. They said attendees discussed efforts to put pressure on No Labels donors and to educate potential No Labels presidential candidates about the dangers of the effort resulting in Trumps election.

Tell it!! I worry about that also. I wouldn't be surprised if the GOP funded it.
