Nancy Pelosi Criticizes No Labels' Potential Third-Party Presidential Bid as Risk to Biden's Reelection and Democracy

No Labels, a group advocating for bipartisanship and raising millions for a potential third-party unity ticket in 2024, triggers backlash from Democrats fearing a split vote could undermine Biden's reelection prospects; Pelosi accuses the organization of pushing GOP policies.

  • No Labels, a group advocating for bipartisanship, is planning a potential third-party 'Unity Ticket' for the 2024 Presidential Election, causing concern among Democrats who fear it could split the vote and jeopardize Biden's reelection.
  • The group claims to be a national movement of 'commonsense Americans' focused on supporting bipartisan efforts and targeting Americans who feel politically isolated from both main parties.
  • Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been critical of No Labels, accusing them of supporting GOP policies, calling their actions 'perilous to our democracy' and arguing that they could undermine Biden's reelection.
  • No Labels was founded in 2009 and has worked towards bipartisan collaborations, such as the House Problem Solver's Caucus, focusing on issues such as COVID-19 contingency planning, criminal justice reform, and gun safety laws.
  • Lieberman, a No Labels founding co-chair, announced a plan to run on a unity ticket only if they believed they had a realistic chance of winning, citing a Gallup poll that claimed 63% of Americans are open to a third-party candidate.
  • The group has been raising millions for its efforts and is working to secure ballot access for a presidential-only ticket across the country.
