No Labels is still pursuing 'several exceptional leaders' for a potential presidential ticket after Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) announced he will not run for the White House.
a presidential run last week during a speech from Morgantown, West Virginia, after being one of the most prominent names floated for a No Labels presidential ticket. No Labels national co-chair Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis Jr. told MSNBC’son Sunday that the group is still talking to “several exceptional leaders” about a unity ticket but would not name names.
“In the next couple of weeks or more, we will probably make an announcement whether or not we will give the ballot access to a unity ticket,” Chavis said. “A unity ticket means a Republican and a Democrat. And we are talking to Republicans, Democrats, and independents.” The group has said it will likely make a determination on whether it will push a unity presidential ticket around Super Tuesday on March 5 and has promised it would not act as a spoiler to help either President Joe Biden or former President Donald Trump, the likely Democratic and Republican nominees.
No Labels has been floating the idea for a third-party candidate as Biden and Trump look poised for a rematch in November, a 2020 rematch polls suggest voters do not want.“We’re in a state of uncertainty in our nation. The only thing that’s certain right now is uncertainty,” So I don’t think we should speculate on what’s going to happen because nobody really knows. What we do know is that the majority of the American people don’t want to see a repeat of 2020,” Chavis said.
No Labels has secured ballot access for the general election in more than a dozen states and is pushing for access in every state in what Chavis conceded is a “long, tedious process.”
