Sen. Joe Manchin is not running as a third-party candidate in a blow to No Labels's bid to challenge President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.
Manchin joins Sen. Mitt Romney and former Republican Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan in passing up a presidential run. Romney, who is not seeking reelection to the Senate, also shot downHogan resigned as co-chairman of No Labels last month, which prompted rumors he was gearing up for a third-party campaign. But then, Hogan announced he would seek the open Maryland Senate seat last week, a surprising move that ended months of speculation about a 2024 campaign.
“No Labels has spent 14 years working to create a movement for America’s commonsense majority, and we welcome Sen. Manchin’s efforts to strengthen it,” said the group’s national co-chairmen, former Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, Dr. Benjamin Chavis, and former North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory, in a statement to the“No Labels is currently speaking with several exceptional leaders about serving on the presidential Unity ticket,” the leaders continued.
“I think it is clear that the third-party buzz has died down,” said Randy Jones, a Democratic political consultant. “We’re seeing what many of us thought was the inevitable outcome of this primary process, another round of Trump and Biden in November.” “Just based on the numbers that we’re seeing, polling numbers and outcomes in early states. It does not seem that these challengers in primaries are finding enough of a foothold to be effective in their goals,” Jones said.
Biden handily defeated primary challenger Rep. Dean Phillips in New Hampshire’s primary, even though he wasn’t on the ballot. He also defeated Marianne Williamson during Nevada’s caucuses earlier this month, prompting her to drop out of the field.
