Joe Cunningham, the national director of non-profit political organization No Labels, threw support behind Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley running as a third-party candidate.
No Labels, an organization that advocates for "common sense solutions," is proposing a "unity ticket" in the 2024 presidential election as an "insurance project."
Cunningham expressed interest in Haley running as a third-party candidate during an appearance on Fox & Friends Sunday.
“This has been a project to essentially give Americans another choice," Cunningham said. "If they’re unhappy with the presumptive nominees, which, you know, it appears it’s going to be Trump versus [President Joe] Biden right now, but we don’t know. Nikki Haley, she’s going to remain in the race. You can’t count her out completely."
The No Labels national director then praised Haley for remaining in the race despite having lost every state primary since elections kicked off.
“But we’re looking for great quality people, folks that have broad appeal to independents, Democrats, Republicans. And, yes, I mean, Nikki Haley is somebody we’d definitely be interested in," he added.
No Labels cites two-thirds of American voters being unhappy with what appears to be a potential rematch between former President Donald Trump and Biden.
"No Labels is working to give the American voters a better choice should they want it," reads the website. "We have a strategy to get on 50 state ballots and the District of Columbia in time to potentially offer our ballot line to an independent Unity ticket in 2024 if that’s what the American people want."
Trump, who has handily outperformed Republican challengers throughout the primary season, defeated Haley by just over 20% in her home state of South Carolina during Saturday's primary.
Despite her lackluster performances, Haley reiterated her vow to remain in the race because she said she was a "woman of her word."
“I’m not giving up this fight when a majority of Americans disapprove of both Donald Trump and Joe Biden. South Carolina has spoken,” Haley told her camp following Saturday's election. “We’re the fourth state to do so. In the next ten days, another 21 states and territories will speak. They have the right to a real choice. Not a Soviet-style election with only one candidate. And I have a duty to give them that choice.”
Trump and Haley will face off again in Michigan's primary tomorrow, followed by Michigan, Idaho, and Missouri caucuses on March 2.
