"RFK Jr. Considers Surprising VP Pick for Third-Party Bid"

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s upcoming vice presidential announcement is expected to bring a significant cash influx and boost to his third-party campaign, meeting the necessary benchmark to be listed on the ballot in two dozen states. While the campaign has been secretive about the choice, reports suggest lawyer and mega-donor Nicole Shanahan is a top contender. The move is seen as a serious step forward for Kennedy's independent run, which faces financial challenges compared to the major parties. The announcement is anticipated to enhance his appeal and fundraising efforts, potentially following historical examples of successful third-party candidates.

Liz Cheney Contemplates Third-Party Run to Stop Trump

Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney has stated that she is committed to doing whatever it takes to prevent former President Donald Trump from returning to the White House, including considering a third-party presidential run in 2024. Cheney believes that a third-party challenge should be considered due to the threat Trump poses, but she also emphasizes the need for unity against him. She warns that a second Trump presidency would involve pardoning January 6 rioters, refusing to enforce court rulings, and a lack of people to stop him. Cheney, who has been an outspoken critic of Trump, lost her position in House Republican leadership and her congressional seat after publicly rejecting Trump's election fraud claims and voting to impeach him.

Recent polls have shown a close potential race between Biden and former President Trump in the 2024 election.

Joe Manchin's Senate Retirement: White House's Failed Persuasion and West Virginia's Farewell

The White House attempted to persuade Senator Joe Manchin to run for another term in the Senate, but their efforts were unsuccessful. Manchin announced that he would not campaign for a third term and even hinted at the possibility of launching a third-party presidential bid. This decision is a blow for Senate Democrats, who already have a narrow majority. The Biden team's attempts to convince Manchin to run again were aimed at maintaining control of the Senate. Manchin's political future has been a subject of interest as he has distanced himself from Biden and his own party. There are concerns that a third-party or independent presidential run by Manchin could impact the Biden coalition and complicate the 2024 election.

Joe Manchin's Senate Resignation Sparks Third-Party Bid Speculation

Speculation is growing that West Virginia Democrat senator Joe Manchin, who recently announced he will not seek re-election, may instead launch a bid for the presidency as the candidate of No Labels, a third-party group. Manchin's decision has raised concerns among Democrats, with some fearing it could split the votes and ultimately help Donald Trump secure re-election in 2024. While polling shows most Americans do not want a rematch between Joe Biden and Trump, a potential Manchin candidacy could complicate the race. However, critics argue that a No Labels ticket has little chance of winning electoral college votes in any state.

Jill Stein Launches 2024 Presidential Bid as Green Party Candidate

Jill Stein, who previously ran for president on the Green Party ticket in 2012 and 2016, has announced her candidacy for the 2024 election. Running to the left of President Biden, Stein accuses both major parties of betraying their promises and being a danger to democracy. Seeking the Green Party's nomination, Stein's institutional backing may give her an advantage in gaining ballot access compared to other independent candidates. Her candidacy, along with other third-party candidates, could complicate the expected rematch between Biden and former President Trump, with some Democrats concerned about potential vote siphoning. Stein's platform includes advocating for an "economic bill of rights" that guarantees employment, healthcare, housing, food, and education.

Pelosi's Scathing Critique of No Labels and Their Impact on Democracy

Democrats, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, are expressing concerns over a potential third-party presidential run backed by No Labels, a group aimed at promoting bipartisan cooperation. Pelosi argues that the group is not truly nonpartisan and is instead advancing Republican policies. The White House is also reportedly worried about the possibility of No Labels electing Donald Trump. No Labels, which initially focused on monitoring elected officials, has been laying the groundwork for a 2024 presidential run. It argues that both President Biden and Trump have low favorability ratings, and voters would benefit from a more enthusiastic candidate. The impact of a third-party candidate in 2024 is uncertain, but No Labels' own polling suggests a Republican candidate would fare better in swing states. Pelosi contends that No Labels is using the guise of nonpartisanship to push conservative ideology.

Joe Manchin: The Bipartisan Villain Facing Backfire in West Virginia

Senator Joe Manchin accuses both parties of demonizing each other and praises the efforts of No Labels, a bipartisan group advocating for a potential third-party "unity ticket" in the 2024 presidential race. Manchin emphasizes the need for more options and working together, while former Senator Joe Lieberman, the founding chairman of No Labels, expresses concern over the current level of animosity in Washington and hopes that their organization's message will encourage the two major parties to move towards the center and prioritize the country's well-being.

The No Labels Party: A Potential Game-Changer in 2024

Centrist group No Labels is targeting Republican donors disenchanted with Donald Trump, offering its unity ticket as an alternative to funding entities supporting President Joe Biden. The strategy could have significant political consequences, diverting funds away from candidates challenging Trump and potentially complicating the Republican primary and future general elections. Democrats are concerned that No Labels' presidential ticket could harm Biden, despite the group's claims that it won't act as a spoiler. The group has not yet settled on a candidate, but some potential donors are skeptical of its ability to secure Electoral College votes.

"No Labels' Third-Party Bid Sparks Fears and Speculation in 2024 Election"

Centrist group No Labels has indicated that it may present a candidate for a third-party presidential ticket by Super Tuesday if it becomes clear that the choices will be former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden, and if there is public support for an alternative. This announcement has raised concerns among Democrats, who fear that a third-party candidate could spoil Biden's reelection. No Labels' call for a centrist White House and consensus governing may resonate not only with moderate Republicans but also with independents, posing a potential threat to both major parties.

The Battle to Break the Two-Party System: Dems' Mission on the Hill

Democrats are working to stop a potential third-party presidential bid funded by No Labels, with progressive group MoveOn and centrist group Third Way planning to brief Senate Democratic chiefs of staff on the matter. Third Way has compiled research showing that a third-party campaign would harm President Joe Biden, while No Labels maintains that an independent ticket has a viable path to victory. Democrats fear that a spoiler candidate could tip the election to Donald Trump or another Republican candidate, and they are concerned that if Senator Joe Manchin runs for president instead of reelection, they could lose both his Senate seat and the presidential race.

Joe Manchin Considers Third-Party Presidential Run Amidst Extremism Concerns.

West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin is considering a third-party presidential bid, stating that voters are tired of the two major parties. Manchin has faced criticism from Democrats for opposing parts of President Biden's spending programs. However, some Democrats have urged him to avoid a third-party bid, fearing it could split the moderate vote and elect a Republican, possibly former President Donald Trump. No Labels, an organization raising money and planning a convention to nominate a third general election candidate, could provide a vehicle for Manchin's bid.
