No Labels may finally have a candidate in consideration for its third-party "unity ticket" in the 2024 presidential election.
Sources familiar with the group's efforts to field a third-party ticket tell ABC News that No Labels representatives have had meetings with former Georgia GOP Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan about running as the group's presidential candidate.
Duncan wouldn't comment on this report, but isn't shutting down speculation.
On Friday, No Labels voted to move forward with the effort to field a bi-partisan challenge to the presumptive Democratic and Republican nominees President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.
According to the sources, Duncan has meet with the No Labels leadership and this weekend will be meeting with Republican donors in a series of meetings set up by No Labels.
Duncan served as Georgia's lieutenant governor from 2019 to 2023. While he is a conservative Republican, he has been sharply critical of Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

Anyone who would be considered for the "No Labels" candidate is a RINO Deep State at BEST, and at worst, a complete Leftist.
I assume they are shopping around for a candidate who could be expected to do the most damage to Trump and the least damage to Biden.
Period.
And talent. He’s useless
He’s the...bipartisan...candidate.
If you know what I mean.
“While he (Duncan) is a conservative Republican, he has been sharply critical of Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.”
Establishment CONservative!!!
spoiler
This guy is one of the RINOs along with Kemp and Ratburger who deliberately aided and abetted the steal in Georgia.
NeverTrumper Loser!! He is a total No Body!!
What is it with all of these GA “Republicans”? Are they part of some secret Deep State cult?
They are NOT republicans!!!
LOL! 😹
He would have been completely unknown, outside of Georgia, if there hadn’t been problems with the 2020 election. From obscure lieutenant governor to the White House is quite the leap.
What about David French?
A spoiler for the Never Trumpers. Now watch the Losertarians put RFK up to bleed even more votes from Trump.
If they think this might damage Trump - such as costing him Georgia - there will be a lot more money behind it than McMullin.
It’s been written here(or said on the radio).
The No Labels crowd will make sure it’s a republican at the top of their ticket. A rat at the top would take away from Biden. They’re not into no labels. They think the independents are dumb enough to go for it and too many of them are. A lot of spent money but if it works it will be well worth it.
He may seem like a nobody but MSM will build this guy up and by November he will be known by everyone. No labels my a**.
Sure, he is a Conservative Republican! He is a conservative Republican like Stacy Abrams is a ballerina!!
Third party candidates have determine outcomes in presidential races several times. Gearge Wallace in 1968 took southern Democrat votes away from the Democrat candidate Hubert Humphrey, giving Richard Nixon the win. In 1992 and 1996 Ross Perot took GOP votes giving Bill Clinton the win.
In the 2000 election Democrats frequently claim Al Gore’s loss to George W. Bush was due to the Supreme Court intervening in the Florida recount to give Bush the victory.by only 537 votes. In reality leftist activist and Green Party Candidate Ralph Nader obtained 97,488 votes in Florida in the 2000 election. Had Nader not been on the ballot most of his votes would have arguably gone to Al Gore giving Gore the win in Florida and nationally.
Looking at 2024 Georgia is a must win state for whoever the Democrat candidate turns out to be. A Georgia win make Pennsylvania and Michigan essential for the Republican candidate. In PA and MI the Dem ground game, loose voting rules, and control of the state voting administration makes a victory almost impossible for a Republican. If the DEMs can use a 3rd party spoiler to enough steal moderate GOP votes to win Georgia, taking one more southern state from Trump will wrap up 2024.
North Carolina will be the other battleground state in the south. Trump won extremely narrow victories in NC 2016 and 2020. He won NC by 3.7% in 2016 and 1.3% in 2020. NC will have 16 Electoral votes in 2024 making it essential for a Trump victory. The state’s demographics are shifting blue due to an influx of people to the state’s urban areas. The Democrats are investing heavily in the get out the vote effort across the state.
