It's over. But that was hardly the case.
No Labels Group may have announced earlier this month that it was unable to bring a bipartisan, third-party “unity” ticket to the altar of the 2024 presidency, but in reality the groom is ready to sign it. However, Mr. Sneed heard that he was unable to find a bride.
In an exclusive interview, Dan K. Webb A top Chicago-based national trial lawyer who was responsible for developing NoLabels' third-party review process told Sneed that “the ticket became a reality a few weeks ago.”
Former New Jersey Governor Webb says: chris christieImmediately after he withdrew from the Republican presidential primary in January, he turned down invitations from No Labels to run for president, but “later last month, he suddenly indicated that he would run if he secured a Democratic running mate.'' did”.
Mr Webb said a recent poll last month by the centrist No Labels group had him “in line with Chris in the polls”. [Christie] Research had shown that if Chris were to run, a third-party candidate could split the vote into three.
“It could give voters a clear choice and it would be an even vote loss.” [Democrat] joe biden and [Republican Donald] playing cards.For the record, we never thought [Robert F.] kennedy [Jr]. “No Labels wasn't trying to destroy the brand,” he said.

Last month, mostly moderate Republicans considering a no-label ticket initiative backed out, but the group conducted a large-scale poll and found that 65% to 70% of Americans today identify with Democrats and Republicans. “He has clearly and incontrovertibly proven that he does not want Biden to be his presidential nominee,” or Trump, Webb said.
“We needed Republicans the most to defeat Trump!
“Well then, Chris. [Christie] He showed he is ready to run in ONE conditions,” Webb said. “Looking for a Democrat to run for Christie’s ‘Unity’ Vice President.”
“But it didn't work. We failed. We couldn't do it. We needed a ticket of unity, and no Democrats ran because they were a party Because I was afraid of leaving and never coming back.
“When that shut down, Chris pulled the plug. He felt he couldn't get the attention of the American public without a unified ticket.
“Up until that point, Chris was in the game and was the only Republican in the presidential primary who agreed to tell the truth and attack Trump,” Webb said.

A week later, on April 4, No Labels folded its big tent based on the idea of the White House, also a week after one of the group's founders, a former senator. Joe Lieberman He passed away unexpectedly.
“It's a disaster that the two monopolistic parties in this country, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, have failed to field the candidate the country wants,” Webb said.
“And I am concerned that the Democratic Party is engaging in offensive and unacceptable behavior by attacking third parties participating in the presidential election,” he said.

“No Labels will continue to support key Congressional figures who are committed to supporting nonpartisan political action, as we have for a decade.
“And we're not going to fold up and leave,” said Mr. Webb, a longtime Republican and a formidable former U.S. attorney in Chicago.
“We have work to do.”

Fun in the shade…
Hmm. Where was everyone? During Monday's eclipse, no one was seen within three blocks north and south of my northern suburban home.
So while reporters flock to raucous crowds that have gathered in stadiums, planetariums and even zoos to see what animals do when the sun and moon dance, Sneed goes it alone. I decided on that.
Seconds before the moon meets the sun, I put on my old 2017 Solar Eclipse ISO “Eclipsor” sunglasses and notice the sudden silence in my backyard, the shadows on the bright blue patches of shira, the drop in temperature that makes pits on my skin, Daffodils blowing in the wind, I encountered a sudden rain. Birds were flying out of the 6 feeders in the backyard and my old lazy old dog was roaming the place.
And I experienced the gift of a few minutes of heaven on a very still earth. There was finally peace.
Sneedling…
