A new political organization known as “No Labels,” which aims to offer a third-party option for the 2024 presidential election, has won access to ballots in 10 states, with North Carolina having awarded them official status. The other states that have given it official status are Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota and Utah. It now joins four other parties that aspiring candidates can register with and pursue nomination.
The group was formed t0 give voters an alternative to making a choice between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump should they become the two nominees. It has specifically stated its intention to run a candidate if the Republican and Democratic Parties “select unreasonably divisive presidential nominees.” Political figures that have voiced support for the organization include former Governor Pat McCrory (R-NC), Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), and former Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-CT).

The political movement has a 70-page platform available for download on its website. Its key commitments are lowering healthcare costs, a pro-legal and anti-illegal immigration policy, pro-police reform and anti-crime, among other things. In order to appeal to centrists, the platform seems to consciously attempt to take a middle of the road approach by combining parts of both mainstream parties’ platforms. It also shares some decidedly pro-establishment beliefs, such as American unipolarity, high military spending, and national dominance in the field of artificial intelligence.
Prominent Democrats such as David Axelrod, former senior adviser to President Barack Obama, have expressed fear that the group will help Trump get elected. Likewise, disgraced Washington D.C.-based political action committee The Lincoln Project has concocted conspiracy theories about No Labels, referred to it as a “con game” designed to re-elect the 45th president.
No Labels is con game. Ron DeSantis’ own large donors are also backing No Labels. They know exactly what they’re doing – anything possible to keep the door wide open for a second Trump presidency.https://t.co/JEEgPAYnhP

No Labels founder and CEO Nancy Jacobson has gone on the record stating that it will drop from the race if it threatens to split the voter and allow either Biden or Trump to win. Jacobson also said No Labels would back off from the race if Trump does not win the GOP nomination.
