NEW YORK (AP) — The No Labels group said Thursday it will not field a presidential candidate in November after strategists for the bipartisan organization failed to attract a high-profile centrist willing to seize on the widespread dissatisfaction with President Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
“No Labels has always said we would only offer our ballot line to a ticket if we could identify candidates with a credible path to winning the White House,” Nancy Jacobson, the group's CEO, said in a statement sent out to allies. “No such candidates emerged, so the responsible course of action is for us to stand down.”
The announcement leaves anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the most prominent independent candidate in the 2024 presidential race.
No Labels' decision, which comes just days after the death of founding chairman Joe Lieberman, caps months of discussions during which the group raised tens of millions of dollars from a donor list it has kept secret. While No Labels' decision may disappoint people seeking a potentially viable third-party option, it came as a relief to Democrats who have long feared that a No Labels ticket would undermine Biden's coalition and help Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee.

It sounds like a deep-state / CIA psyop
They control both fake options of the uniparty, so something “in the middle” fits them just fine.
I thought for sure that they would put RFK Jr on their ticket. The fact that they didn’t suggests they may be compromised.
RFK Jr isn’t a centerist and he has no chance of winning
In other words, polling showed their participation to guarantee a Trump victory.
stupid organization should go away.
Correct.
“RFK Jr isn’t a centerist”
Nope, crazy, leftist, anti-vaxxer, environmental radical.
So...No Labels is now No Party?
Only someone who could potentially take votes from Trump.
In other words, their polling indicated the party would take more votes from pedo Biden than from Trump, so they aren’t going to run a candidate.
It’s all about stopping Trump so he doesn’t stop their sick demented globohomo gravy train.
Possibly.
This is just Democrat front group. I suspect internal polling showed a “no labels” candidate would draw more from the “not Trump” Biden voters than from Trump. (And “not Trump” is easily Biden’s largest voting block.)
So they decided to pass.
They’ll run a candidate when the Republican is a squish like Romney.
Donkey, elephant, slug.
“No Labels” are Lefties who just don’t want to be identified as Lefties.
Everyone knows the ‘centrist’ at the top of the ticket would be a republican and guess which side would lose votes? They had no takers-I’m surprised.
“failed to attract a high-profile centrist”
that’s because there’s no such thing as a “centrist’, high or low profile ...
They didn’t ask me. I’d run if I could keep all the loot. I’d campaign like Biden. Sleep until noon, get some ice cream, watch TV and go back to sleep.
The center is no place for a true American!
Centralists are those who stand for nothing but capitulation.
this is the real reason
