“I will not stop using my voice for the things I believe in.”

You do that, Nikki; the DNC is awaiting your arrival.

I think it is possible that Nikki Haley could be a prime choice for a "No Labels" third party run, along with Joe Manchin and Kristin Sinema, who will be out of their Senate jobs as of January 2025. "Sore loser" laws are in effect in several states, but one effect of the recent Supreme Court ruling reinstating Trump to the Colorado ballot is to establish Federal supremacy over Federal elections, thus eviscerating those laws on the Federal level.

There has never been a third party candidate to win a Presidential election, unless you count Lincoln in 1860 as one. The last "moderate" Republican to run an independent third party run was John Anderson in 1980. He received 6.6% of the popular vote and no electoral votes, but his voters denied Reagan a 47 state sweep. Biden is probably as weak as Carter was. However, the political spectrum has shifted leftward since that time. Unless Trump has moved the needle significantly with respect to black, Hispanic, Asian and Jewish voters, a third party candidacy could have a greater impact now than in 1980. Remember that about one third of primary voters chose someone other than Trump. If the donor base that supported Haley, DeSantis, and others decides to fund a "No Labels" party, that could put Biden, or whomever the Democrats choose in his place, over the top without higher levels of cheating than we saw in 2020 and 2022.

RE: Nikki going to be hugged by the waiting DNC....

Benedict Arnold was a favorite aide to George Washington then turned traitor.
“Arnold survived the war and moved with his wife Peggy to England, where he lived out the remainder of his life, mistrusted even by the British and consigned to relative obscurity.”

Traitors always try to say “that time I lied to them but this time I’m telling the truth to you guys.” How can anyhone trust them?
