Democrats Warn of ‘Unique Threat’: Election Ballots to List ‘No Labels’ as Third Option in These US States

A third political party is gaining traction in some states, with talks that its candidates could result in upsets in traditional Democrat versus Republican battleground states.

No Labels, an organization that could field an independent candidate in the 2024 presidential race, has secured ballot access in seven states, with North Carolina being the latest to join the list.

No Labels intends to establish the groundwork to run an alternative candidate for the 2024 presidential race if the election turns into a rematch between former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden. The organization’s leadership is composed of both Republicans and Democrats.
