” No for candidates emerged, but the responsible course of action is for us to stand down”, Jacobson added.
” Rising$ 70 million and accomplishing a correspondingly unattainable goal is a pretty good metaphor for the Beltway consensus that it represented,” said Charlie Kirk.

Would-be top-tier candidates were, so to speak, turning them down in a row.

From the Associated Press:
No Labels, which has raised tens of millions of dollars from a donor list it has kept surprise, has just come to a conclusion after months of discussions. Democrats who have long accused the group of essentially supporting Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, will be relieved by its decision, even though it will disappoint those looking for a possible viable third-party option.
Additionally, it more cements a rematch of the Democratic incumbent and the former president for the fall election. No Labels had aimed to address the powerful that many voters do not favor about Biden and Trump.
No Labels ‘ decision was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
No Labels delegates overwhelmingly voted in March to formally begin the process of developing a nonpartisan political and vice presidential ticket. But by then, No Labels had been rejected, publicly and privately, by some Democrat or Republican candidates.
Nikki Haley, an ex-U.N. Ambassador, had stated that she would not consider running on the No Labels ticket after suspending her campaign for the GOP nomination next month. Sen. Joe Manchin, D- W. Va., ruled out running and past Gov. Larry Hogan, R- Md., decided to run for U. S. Senate.
Next month, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican candidate for president in 2024, said he would n’t run under the No Label banner, either.”}]] [[{“value”:”

The Associated Press:
No Labels has been in discussions for months. The group has raised tens and millions of dollars using a secret donor list. While the decision will disappoint those who are looking for a viable third-party alternative, it will be a relief to Democrats, who have long accused No Labels of helping Trump, the Republican presumptive nominee.
This also cements the rematch between the incumbent Democratic president and the former President in the general election this fall. No Labels sought to change the dynamic in which many voters did not view Biden or Trump favorably.
The Wall Street Journal was the first to report No Labels’s decision.
In March, No Labels delegates voted by a large majority to begin the process of creating an bipartisan presidential and vice-presidential ticket. No Labels was rejected by many Democratic and Republican candidates, both publicly and privately.
Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley had stated that she would not run on the No Labels ticket after she suspended her campaign last month for the GOP nomination. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) ruled himself out of the race and former Gov. Larry Hogan, R.-Md. decided to run for U.S. Senate.
Last month, the former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, the Republican presidential candidate in 2024 who is running under the No Label banner said he would not run either.
