Joe Lieberman: Polling shows No Labels unity ticket would pull from both parties equally
New Hampshire Union Leader - October 22, 2023
AS NO LABELS works to gain ballot access for a potential 2024 independent presidential ticket, most of the vitriol directed at us comes from the Democratic establishment, which is anxious that we’ll hurt President Joe Biden and help elect Donald Trump. But if these concerns were well-founded, I wouldn’t be a part of this effort.

Letter: No Labels as a potential alternative
Gloucester Times - September 29, 2023

Democrats’ campaign to suppress democracy
I’m talking about the efforts by Democrats to keep the third party, No Labels, off the ballot in every state.
No Labels is a nascent third party that has basically said “We don’t want Trump, or Biden, and we are willing to try to do something about that by offering somebody else.” They don’t know who that someone else is yet. And they’ve even said that if it isn’t Trump vs. Biden then they won’t offer a candidate. But if it is, they seem serious, as they’ve already raised about $80 million just in case.

If they could have, they would have.
But thanks to antitrust law, it is illegal to collude to block new competitors.
Monopolies and duopolies are prohibited for good reason: Less competition invariably leads not only to higher prices but also to less innovation, fewer choices and lower quality products and services.
The same principle applies in politics, and the brokenness of our political system proves it.

Why this voter prefers the ‘No Labels’ option | Letters to the editor
As a voter, I’m not able to put my arms around either Joe Biden or Donald Trump.
Joe is just too old with a criminal son, and Trump is the prime example of how money and unethical lawyers can enable a person to get away with anything, including the attempted overthrow of our government.
Yes I will vote for the No Labels candidate, as I believe that neither Biden nor Trump has the welfare of the country in their DNA. I also maintain that Trump will beat it all and that says it all as to equal justice for all and the rule of law in this country.

No Labels: Parsing Its 2024 Impact
L.A. Progressive - July 26, 2023
No Labels is an avowed centrist movement that is associated with former Senator Joe Lieberman, based on the premise that there is a common sense majority in the country that wants to avoid a choice between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. They have been securing ballot access in as many states as possible with a view to running an independent presidential ticket.
Curious about a commonsense policy?
No Labels could be attractive to many
Joe Lieberman is among the leaders of the No Labels movement, which is tired of partisan antics and may be looking for an alternate candidate for president in 2024. Lieberman believes the American people don’t want another matchup of Donald Trump and Joe Biden, and he’s probably right. Even people who claim they’d vote for a toadstool rather than the prevaricating, bloviating Trump also shudder at the thought of another four years of Biden, whom they consider befuddled and ineffective.

An intriguing poll on the potential 2024 impact of No Labels

POLITICO has an interesting and potentially significant report on the criteria and methodology No Labels will use in deciding whether or not to back a third-party presidential candidacy. No Labels claims it will field its own presidential ticket only if it believes it has a viable shot of actually winning a three-way race. In the article, its “chief strategist” Ryan Clancy is quoted as seeing a path to victory only if Trump is the Republican nominee:
“‘From the polling and modeling that we see today, if it’s any Republican other than Trump, those voters probably’ back the GOP nominee, Clancy said.” To make the implication of this analysis explicit, Clancy added: ““That [would start] to close off the gap or that opening that we see today for the independent ticket.”
