Two groups aligned with the Democratic Party are pressuring elected officials to denounce any potential third-party presidential campaign by the centrist No Labels movement.

On Tuesday, the Democratically-aligned MoveOn and Third Way began circulating a pledge denouncing No Labels, seeking signatures from elected officials. The pledge raises concerns that a third-party campaign led by No Labels will only split the Democratic vote in the 2024 election to the benefit of the Republican Party.
