Arizona Democrats to sue No Labels to block third-party challenge

The moderate group has been preparing a possible national presidential ticket for the 2024 elections


The Arizona Democratic Party will file a lawsuit Thursday against the state’s top election administrator and No Labels, seeking to reverse the moderate group’s recognition as a political party for the 2024 elections, according to Democratic officials.

The lawsuit, in state court in Phoenix, reflects growing concern in Democratic circles that a No Labels third-party ticket in 2024 will jeopardize the reelection hopes of President Biden and make it harder for Democrats to maintain control of the Senate.

but by absorbing them. democrats nominated the populist leader for president, and accepted the progressive platform into the new deal.

i would welcome a multiparty government but, with the exception of bernie sanders and a few orhers, we will never have one.

for about 20 years and have destroyed that country. Third parties are the enemies of Democracy IMHO. I would never vote for one and I would do my best to get them off the ballot. I am a Democrat. I do not not or ever intend to welcome a multiparty government.
