The No Labels party has officially announced its entry into the presidential race, with members voting to proceed with their presidential ticket. The party is now in search of a candidate to lead their unity presidential ticket. Reports suggest that Georgia Republican Jeff Duncan is being considered for this role.
Joe Cunningham, the National Director of No Labels and former Democratic South Carolina Congressman, provided an update on the candidate selection process. He clarified that the party's timeline has always been to wait until after Super Tuesday to make a decision on moving forward. With nearly unanimous support from 800 delegates representing all states, the party has decided to proceed.
Cunningham emphasized that the party will release its selection process next Thursday, with the goal of identifying candidates in the next few weeks. The party aims to present a bipartisan ticket, potentially featuring a Republican and a Democrat or an Independent candidate.
Regarding the focus of the party in selecting a candidate, Cunningham highlighted that the primary goal is to put forward a ticket that can win. The party is prioritizing success and will consider all options to achieve this objective.
As the selection process unfolds, more clarity is expected next week when the party unveils its plans for moving forward. Cunningham stressed the importance of a methodical approach to candidate selection to ensure that the best candidates are chosen for the presidential ticket.
