The bipartisan group No Labels won’t put forward a third-party presidential ticket after failing to find a candidate.
“Today, No Labels is ending our effort to put forth a Unity ticket in the 2024 presidential election,” the group said in a release Thursday.
“No Labels has always said we would only offer our ballot line to a ticket if we could identify candidates with a credible path to winning the White House. No such candidates emerged, so the responsible course of action is for us to stand down.”
The Wall Street Journal first broke the news Thursday of No Labels’s plans.
One of this cycle’s biggest questions was whether No Labels would move forward with a third-party ticket as a contrast to President Biden and former President Trump’s unpopularity with voters.
Leaders floated former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley as possible candidates before running through a list that grew narrower as more names fell off.
