Earlier this week, No Labels Founder Joe Lieberman stated in a conversation with Neil Cavuto of Fox News’ Your World that he feels the organization would be open to having Republican presidential hopeful Nikki Haley as a part of their bipartisan ticket if her campaign for the Republican nomination doesn’t succeed.
Speaking with Cavuto on Monday, Lieberman mentioned that although they haven’t formally approached Haley about the possibility of running on their ballot line, several of the organization’s “big supporters” would be open to having Haley on the ticket, adding that he wouldn’t be surprised if some of them were already in discussions with the former South Carolina Governor about the idea.
“I have a lot of admiration for Nikki Haley, Lieberman said to Cavuto. “I haven’t spoken at all to her about this, but it is true — some of our big supporters know her well, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they are talking with her.
“If […] we decided we were going to run a ticket, I think there would be a lot of people in No Labels who would be happy to give consideration to Nikki Haley.”
Cavuto pushed back against Lieberman, jokingly saying the organization goes through more ideas for prospective candidates than Cavuto goes through ideas of what to get at a bakery.
In response, Lieberman shifted the focus of the conversation to No Label’s unique mission and the number of states the organization anticipates achieving ballot access in, with the ultimate goal being full access in all 50 states.

Here is an update on candidates in Arizona’s No Labels Party: There are now five registered No Labels voters who’ve filed statements of intent to run for office in the August primary: two for state representative (in different districts), one for the U.S. House, one for the U.S. Senate, and one for the state corporation commission.
The national No Labels is challenging Arizona’s determination to accept any candidates running for offices other than President and Vice President in a lawsuit that will be argued in Federal District Court in Phoenix on January 5.
The Arizona Libertarian Party currently has seven candidates who’ve filed statements of intent to run in the August primary: two for state representative (in different districts), one for U.S. Senate, three for U.S. House (in different districts), and one for the corporation commission.

Something that just won’t happen. I see Nikki Haley the Return occurring in 2028.
That is a disappointment … of sorts.
Feel free to keep the “Revive with Vivek” line!
Turns out to be untrue, but still amusing.
HERE’s one for you … Jordan, could probably post this separately.
Revive with Vivek (remember those old commercials?) is supposedly mulling a Libertarian run. https://politicalwire.com/2023/12/08/vivek-ramaswamy-flirts-with-third-party-bid/
