No Labels‘s founding chairman and national political director, Joe Cunningham, said on Sunday the third party would “definitely be interested in” former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley.
“This has been a project to essentially give Americans another choice if they’re unhappy with the presumptive nominees. Which, you know, it appears it’s going to be Trump vs. Biden right now, but we don’t know,” Cunningham said on Fox & Friends Sunday. “Nikki Haley, she’s remaining in the race.”
Haley suffered another loss by a wide margin Saturday in the Republican South Carolina presidential primary to former President Donald Trump. She faces a major uphill battle to the GOP nomination, though she is defying calls to exit the race.
“You can’t count her out completely. And hats off to her for staying in and for sticking with it. But we’re looking for great quality people, and folks that have broad appeal to independents, Democrats, Republicans. And, yeah, I mean, Nikki Haley’s somebody we’d definitely be interested in,” Cunningham said.
Still, No Labels, which calls itself “a national movement of commonsense Americans pushing our leaders together to solve our country’s biggest problems,” hasn’t said who its 2024 candidate will be.

“We’ve said from the onset that after Super Tuesday, we’re going to look at who the presumptive nominees are, and if the vast majority of Americans are unhappy with those and we feel like we can put forward a ticket or offer a ballot line to candidates who can win, then we’re going to offer that ballot line,” Cunningham said.
No Labels recently lost two of its rumored front-runner candidates, former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV). Hogan is running for Senate, and Manchin said last week he won’t be running for president.
