When asked about the widely shared concern that No Labels would throw the election in Trump’s direction, Huntsman said this was “the latest talking point” and then compared No Labels critics to Russian and Chinese authoritarians.
Many Americans fear a second Trump term and are dissatisfied. No Labels is here to take advantage of that sadness with a half-finished idea.
He offered this in the middle of a substantive point, about honesty and political strength, but in a weird venue: the first town hall put on by No Labels, the longstanding centrist group now threatening to run a third-party presidential ticket if Joe Biden and Donald Trump are nominated. To think about losing, and not being afraid to lose, at this event went to the thing people fear about No Labels right now.
At the actual event, though, in response to a woman’s question about climate change, Mr. Manchin, Democrat of West Virginia, and Jon Huntsman, a Republican former governor of Utah, ended up disagreeing about carbon pricing. Whether No Labels is for or against carbon pricing was seemingly never resolved at the event, even though it’s exactly the kind of thing two No Labels types would agree on during a panel in Aspen or Davos.
“Nobody knows because we’ve never tried it,” Mr. Huntsman replied, which produced a slight hitch in the crowd, since people’s tolerance for the unknown has probably decreased over the past decade. “Well, they tried it in 1864,” Mr. Manchin said, which produced an uneasier noise in the crowd.
