The No Labels third party announced Sunday that it plans to hold a nominating convention in April for the 2024 presidential election.
Former Sen. Joe Lieberman, the founding chair of the centrist group, said on Fox News Sunday that the group is looking to select its nominee for 2024 in Dallas in April 2024.“We already have scheduled a bipartisan convention," Lieberman said."Think about it. We haven’t seen that ever in recent history. A bipartisan nominating convention for Dallas, Texas, in April of next year.”
He added that the group's main priority currently is seeing whether or not they have a path to victory; a path they increasingly believe is open. “Our plan is to only run if we think we have a chance to win realistically,” Lieberman said. “And look, we just finished a poll of 10,000 voters in the eight battleground states. And we give them a choice of Trump, Biden, and a moderate independent third choice, and 63 percent say that they’re open to a moderate Independent third choice.”Sen. Joe Manchin looks likely to be the group's candidate, though he hasn't fully committed one way or the other.
In July, Manchin appeared alongside former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman for the first town hall event hosted by No Labels.Democrats have roundly condemned the group, fearing that it will siphon votes from Biden and return a Republican candidate to the White House in 2024. “Let me be clear: No Labels is trying to use a false message of unity to sow division,” Rep. Annie Kuster said last month in a statement to Politico. “Their plan to run a third-party ticket in 2024 will pave the path for the most extreme, far-right candidate to win the White House — namely, former President Trump.”
