No Labels’ political strategy would exploit blue states and moderate and conservative Latinos who have rejected Trump. If they don’t stand down, they will hurt Biden, damage the Democratic brand among Latinos, and ultimately re-elect Trump.
Arizonans should get used to being in the spotlight, because a new group is angling to capitalize on our political significance. No Labels, an organization based in DC, recently made news for gaining ballot access here for a third-party presidential “unity ticket” in 2024. Backed by $70 million from anonymous donors, they insist they can outperform every third-party candidate in history. But Arizonans need to know they will ensure that Donald Trump wins our state and the White House.
People are also reading… A third-party candidate will not win in 2024, no matter their ideological leaning, gender, or ethnicity. No third-party ticket has come remotely close to winning — including the wildly popular Teddy Roosevelt. Third-party candidates may poll well in the beginning, but they always collapse down the stretch. Ross Perot peaked at 36% in the polls in 1992 and finished at 19%. John Anderson peaked at 26% in 1980 and ended at seven percent.
No Labels’ 2024 map is dominated by places Biden won. In fact, two-thirds of their projected electoral votes come from states Biden won – why? Because those moderate voters backed Biden. Their efforts will target moderate, independent, and late-deciding voters who added anti-Trump votes to the Democratic column.
As someone who researches Latinos nationally and in Arizona, I know a “unity ticket” sounds appealing. The division, negativity, and violence is disturbing, and we are hungry for a way out. But we cannot be fooled by No Labels. Casting Trump and Biden as equally extreme is not just untrue; it risks our future.
