No Labels Is Expected to Push Ahead With 'Unity' Presidential Ticket
Kristina Peterson and Ken Thomas


WASHINGTON—The centrist group No Labels is expected to push forward Friday
with plans to pick an independent “unity” ticket for the presidential
election, according to people familiar with its plans.

“We expect our delegates to encourage the process to continue,” said Ryan Clancy, the group's chief strategist.

Democrats are worried that adding an independent ticket could siphon
support from President Biden, who is moving toward a rematch with former President Donald Trump. GOP presidential rival Nikki Haley dropped out
this week after Trump dominated the Super Tuesday ballots.

No Labels’ 800 delegates are scheduled to discuss their next steps Friday
in a virtual meeting closed to the press. If the group opts to proceed, as expected, it then would work on trying to settle on a pair of candidates.
No Labels has indicated it would like to tap a Democrat and a
Republican—likely with a Republican atop the ticket—to offer a choice to
voters seeking an alternative to both Biden and Trump.

No Labels’ expected move Friday was earlier reported by the Associated
Press.
