Former Dallas Mayor and ex-CEO of Pizza Hut, Mike Rawlings, recently discussed the potential collaboration between No Labels and former Georgia Lieutenant Governor Jeff Duncan. Rawlings emphasized the importance of breaking away from traditional candidates and focusing on individuals with a viable path to the White House.
He highlighted the need for courage, humility, and a unifying spirit in presidential candidates. Rawlings assured that a candidate announcement could be expected by mid-April, with a serious approach to candidate selection in the coming weeks.
Regarding the proposal by former Congressman Dick Gephardt, Rawlings dismissed fears of third-party influence on the election outcome. He attributed challenges within the Democratic party to internal dynamics rather than external factors like No Labels.
Rawlings underscored the desire for a choice among voters, particularly the growing independent demographic. He rejected the notion that pursuing an alternative candidate in the current political climate would be futile due to concerns about the impact of Donald Trump on democracy.
He urged a shift towards common-sense leadership, accountability, and a focus on national interests rather than divisive rhetoric. Rawlings emphasized the need to steer away from the current political trajectory and embrace a more constructive approach to governance.
