Prominent Donors Sue No Labels Over Alleged 'Bait and Switch'

The Durst Family Accuses the Centrist Group of Breaching Contract by Preparing to Back a Third-Party Presidential Bid in 2024

Douglas and Jonathan Durst, members of a prominent New York real estate family, are suing the centrist political group No Labels for allegedly breaching contract and 'unjust enrichment'.
The Dursts accuse No Labels of a 'bait and switch' tactic, claiming the group solicited donations for 'bipartisan activism' but is now preparing to back a possible third-party presidential bid in 2024.
The Dursts are seeking damages and reimbursement for the $145,000 that members of their family have donated to No Labels since 2016.
No Labels has signaled for months that it would present a third-party ticket in the 2024 presidential contest if President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump were the nominees for their respective parties.
Some Democrats fear that a third-party ticket presented by No Labels would take votes away from Biden and jeopardize his chance of getting reelected.
