No Labels Co-Chair Joe Lieberman said his group could launch a third-party bid in hopes of wrestling presidential power from the two major parties.
Former U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman told Scripps News’"Morning Rush" that his moderate group No Labels could mount a unity ticket if next year’s presidential election appears to be a rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.
“We think the American people, as the polling numbers you cited, are so dissatisfied with the choice of Presidents Trump or Biden that they want a third alternative,” Lieberman, a former vice presidential candidate, said. “And if we feel that way next year, we're gonna give it to them.” “There's a very strong feeling that there is a difference between President Trump and President Biden, and President Trump really is a threat to our democracy,” Lieberman said of the beliefs among members of No Labels. “There are a lot of questions and criticisms about President Biden, but it's a very different order.
“Objective math shows that a No Labels candidate would take 14% from Biden and 10% from Trump,” the Lincoln Project said in a statement. “In a hypothetical three-way match-up nationally, the No Labels’ candidate would garner 20%, with Biden garnering 28% and Trump taking 33%. They’re not problem solvers; they’re spoilers who plan to throw the election to Donald Trump."Lieberman said the Lincoln Project’s claims are not accurate.
