Being rebuffed by Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., will not stop No Labels from seeking a third-party presidential candidate in 2024.
Manchin, who had been considering a third-party run, said Friday that he will not campaign for the White House.
No Labels is pursuing "several exceptional leaders" to run in November, according to the group's national co-chair, Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis Jr., who appeared on MSNBC's "The Weekend" on Sunday.
Chavis refused to name potential candidates on a "unity ticket."
"In the next couple of weeks or more, we will probably make an announcement whether or not we will give the ballot access to a unity ticket," Chavis said on MSNBC. "A unity ticket means a Republican and a Democrat. And we are talking to Republicans, Democrats, and independents."
No Labels officials have said the group likely make a determination near Super Tuesday on March 5 on whether it will push a unity presidential ticket.
The group insists it would not act as a spoiler to help either former President Donald Trump or President Joe Biden — the two current front-runners for the Republican and Democratic Parties, respectively — win the election.
"We're in a state of uncertainty in our nation," Chavis said on MSNBC. "The only thing that's certain right now is uncertainty. So, I don't think we should speculate on what's going to happen because nobody really knows.
"What we do know is that the majority of the American people don't want to see a repeat of 2020."
Chavis said No Labels has qualified for the ballot in 16 states and is pushing forward around the country to get on the ballot in all 50 states for 2024.
"It's a long, tedious process. And we're very pleased with the voter access that we've gotten so far. And we're going to keep pushing," Chavis said.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Tuesday on ABC's "Good Morning America" that he is not ruling out a third-party presidential bid.
"I don't know who the full field's going to be yet," Christie said. "And there might be a No Labels candidate."
Christie said he has not been approached by No Labels, but did not dismiss the possibility of saying yes if he's asked.
