Haley deserves serious consideration for No Labels presidential ticket if interested, co-chair says

WASHINGTON (AP) — A top No Labels leader said Thursday that Republican presidential contender Nikki Haley “would deserve serious consideration” for the group’s nomination if it decides to run a third-party candidate for president.

Joe Lieberman, a former Connecticut senator and co-chair of No Labels, said Haley’s record as governor of South Carolina and U.N. ambassador would be a good fit for the group’s plan to find a candidate in the likely event that the 2024 election becomes a rematch between Democrat Joe Biden and Republican Donald Trump.

“I think I’m speaking for a lot of No Labels members. Gov. Haley would deserve serious consideration,” Lieberman said. “But that’s a decision for her to make, and it’s not an easy one. So we’ll have to wait and see.”

Haley’s team said she wasn’t interested in the offer.
