A national co-chair for No Labels said Sunday the organization continues to pursue “several exceptional leaders” in the wake of Sen. Joe Manchin’s decision not to run for president in 2024.
“We’re talking with several exceptional leaders. We have our own internal process,” Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis said on “The Weekend” on MSNBC.
No Labels is seeking to offer a centrist unity ticket for the 2024 presidential election. Manchin (D-W.Va.), who is retiring from the Senate, was considered a possible candidate but said Friday he would not be running. Another potential candidate, former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, has opted instead to run for an open Senate seat in his state.
While not naming anyone who might run, Chavis said No Labels was pushing forward. “In the next couple of weeks or more,” Chavis said, “we will probably make an announcement whether or not we will give the ballot access to a unity ticket. A unity ticket means a Republican and a Democrat. And we are talking to Republicans, Democrats and independents.”
