PHOENIX — The Arizona Democratic Party is looking to force new political party No Labels to disclose its donors or lose its status as a political party, an escalation of Democrats' efforts to block a group they worry will boost Donald Trump's chances of returning to the White House.
Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans worry a No Labels candidate couldn't win but would tip the scales in favor of Trump or a Trump-like Republican. Arizona is a crucial battleground state, where Democrat Joe Biden beat Trump in 2020 by less than half of a percentage point. Biden won two other states by less than one percentage point.
Spokespeople for Fontes and No Labels did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the complaint from Arizona Democrats. The Arizona Democratic Party has also filed a lawsuit seeking to block the recognition of No Labels, arguing there were deficiencies in the paperwork the group filed. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Katherine Cooper sounded skeptical of the Democratic arguments during a hearing on Tuesday but did not say which way she would rule.
