The centrist US political group No Labels decided on Friday to nominate a presidential candidate in the coming days, but leaders warned that they may never find a viable candidate to represent an alternative to Joe Biden and Donald Trump, News.ro reported with reference to Reuters Agency. .

After months of fundraising and efforts to get on state ballots across the country, about 800 No Labels delegates, including small donors, voted Friday to launch the presidential campaign in November’s election and identify potential candidates, No Labels leader Mike Rawlings in a statement.

“They voted almost unanimously to continue our project to 2024 and immediately begin identifying candidates for the Unity presidential slate,” Rawlings said.

However, leaders warned delegates that a viable candidate may not emerge, a sign that the whole effort could ultimately fail, according to two sources.

No Labels says on its website that it will run for president “if the two major parties choose candidates that the vast majority of Americans will not want to vote for in 2024.”

The third candidate will destabilize the presidential campaign of Democrat Joe Biden

No Labels also says it has raised $50 million to organize a third-party presidential bid. Any such campaign could seriously erode votes for incumbent President Joe Biden, Democrats fear.

“Their decision to nominate a trumped up dark money candidate funded by Trump donors is shameful and puts millions of Americans at risk,” said Rana Epting, executive director of MoveOn, a political committee supporting Biden.

Friday marks the start of the most critical phase for the centrist group, as it announced its transition from a bipartisan organization in Washington to a presidential party that hopes to capitalize on Americans’ dissatisfaction with the candidates most likely to be nominated. the country’s two main political parties are Democrat Joe Biden and Republican Donald Trump, respectively.

The presidential race narrowed this week after Republican Nikki Haley and Democrat Dean Phillips dropped their respective nominations after Super Tuesday.

However, No Labels officials have promised that the group will only move forward if they believe they have a viable path to victory and will not play the role of “rabbit”. But Friday’s decision is likely to do little to quell criticism — mostly from Democrats — that the party has no chance and will only tip the scales in Trump’s favor.
