Duel between Biden and Trump: the centrist movement is considering a third candidate, Democrats are on alert

The 2010s had the Tea Party, will the current decade see No Labels? The centrist movement, which stands for “No Labels”, decided on Friday to nominate a candidate for the US presidential election in the coming days.

After months of fundraising and competing in national elections across the country, about 800 No Labels delegates meeting online voted “almost unanimously” in favor of plans to launch a presidential campaign in the November election, No Labels leader Mike Rawlings said. Now we are talking about finding a “ticket”, a presidential candidate and his potential vice-president, who will represent a list called “United Front”. “This moment demands that American leaders and citizens declare freedom from the anger and division that is destroying our politics and, more importantly, our country,” No Labels declares on its official website, which warns against Biden and Trump meeting face-to-face . in November next year.

Ryan Clancy, the organization’s chief strategy officer, provided details later Friday.

The movement began fundraising last year, hoping to raise $70 million for the election, and has promised to hold a national convention in Dallas this April. That plan has been scrapped, and states’ deadlines for participating in the November election are looming.

Founded in 2009, No Labels has until now been a think tank for moderate Democrats and Republicans. Its evolution into an independent party representing a Republican presidential candidate and a Democratic vice presidential candidate could eclipse Joe Biden, whose age in particular has come under fire from some Democratic voters and at whom undecideds may sulk.

Provided that famous personalities are found in all American states to launch the campaign. By January, No Labels had attracted the likes of Jon Huntsman Jr., the former Republican governor of Utah, Larry Hogan, the former Republican governor of Maryland, and Sen. Joe Manchin, a conservative Virginia-Western Democrat whose name is enough. make the White House tremble. But none of the three responded positively.
