"Geoff Duncan's No Labels Presidential Bid Threatens 2024 Election"

Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan is being considered as a potential presidential candidate for the third-party movement No Labels, which aims to field an independent candidate for the 2024 election. Duncan, a Republican, has been an outspoken critic of former President Donald Trump and his allies, and his potential candidacy comes as the group seeks to offer an alternative to voters disenchanted with both major parties. However, concerns have been raised about the impact of a third-party bid on the electoral landscape, particularly in battleground states like Georgia.

"Democratic Party Officials Demand Immediate Denouncement of No Labels"

Democratic Party officials are urging leaders to denounce the group No Labels and its potential third-party presidential bid in the 2024 election. Internal emails obtained by CBS News reveal instructions from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) advising local party officials to issue statements, denounce No Labels on social media, and use media appearances to counter the third-party movement. Concerns have been raised that a third-party bid could split the vote and benefit former President Trump. No Labels has qualified for the ballot in 11 states and has raised nearly $70 million for its initiative. West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin, aligned with No Labels, has indicated he may leave the Democratic Party and run on a unity ticket if Trump and Biden are their respective party's nominees. No Labels founders Joe Lieberman and Jay Nixon have criticized efforts to derail their work, calling it an attack on democracy.
