Third-Party Candidate Can't Win 2024 Election, Warns Obama's Former Campaign Manager

Jim Messina argues that No Labels' 'unity ticket' could jeopardize Biden's reelection chances.

Jim Messina, former campaign manager for President Obama, argues that a third-party candidate cannot win the 2024 presidential election.
Messina warns that the effort by No Labels to put forward a 'unity ticket' composed of a Democrat and a Republican could spoil President Biden's reelection chances.
He cites the lack of success of third parties in presidential contests historically and the Electoral College system as reasons for his prediction.
No Labels has been discussing the prospect of launching a unity ticket, with polls showing many Americans do not want Trump or Biden to be their respective parties' nominees in 2024.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) has stirred rumors about whether he would run under the No Labels banner following his decision to not run for reelection to his Senate seat.
