No Labels calls on Justice Department to investigate 'intimidation' to keep group off ballots

The No Labels national co-chairman spoke to Fox News on Thursday after calling on the Justice Department to investigate what he called intimidation tactics by state officials to keep the independent electoral group off the ballot.

Former NAACP executive director Benjamin Chavis, Jr. said the No Labels organization is being subjected to such tactics in a number of states, adding that his movement might not even put forward a candidate in the first place.

"No Labels is not going to be a spoiler for Donald Trump. No Labels is responding to the overwhelming majority of the American people who don't want to see a repeat of 2020," he said in response to criticism. Chavis later said the group will make a final ticket decision in March.

While Chavis called out Trump, the left-wing activist group MoveOn disparaged No Labels' ability thus far to gain ballot access, and claimed on X, formerly Twitter, that it is trying to cause as much "chaos" as possible to get the Republican back into office.

"Well, MoveOn is not accurate. They're off-base," Chavis said on "The Story."

"We are clear of our intentions, and our intention is to work with Democrats, independents, Republicans — everybody… "

He said his group has gotten ballot access in 14 states including North Carolina, and that the intention is to have a ticket put forward that is viable and features a Republican and Democrat running together.

Chavis declined to elaborate on what candidates he or his group, whose founding chairman is former Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., wants to specifically put forward.
