Bill Cassidy hints at potential No Labels ticket involvement if Biden and Trump face off again.
Sen. Bill Cassidy Open to Joining Third-Party Ticket in 2024
During his appearance on Meet the Press, Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) expressed his willingness to be involved with a third-party ticket in the 2024 presidential election if former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden become the nominees.
Host Chuck Todd questioned Cassidy about the possibility of joining or supporting the No Labels Party’s presidential ticket in 2024. Initially, Cassidy mentioned that his decision would depend on the candidates. However, when Todd highlighted that Biden and Trump are the likely nominees for the major parties, Cassidy stated that he would be open to speaking with No Labels if they approached him.
Although Cassidy clarified that he is not currently in talks with the party regarding a potential ticket, he expressed his openness to the idea. He emphasized that 70% of the American people desire something different and that there could be a scenario where one candidate is convicted, while another shows signs of mental decline. In such a situation, Cassidy believes there should be another option for the American people.
No Labels’ Plans for 2024
No Labels has made it clear that they intend to nominate a potential presidential ticket in 2024 if Biden and Trump face off again. The organization has been organizing events with centrist Democrats and Republicans, including Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and former Republican Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman.
Sen. Manchin, who is facing Republican challengers for his Senate seat, has not ruled out the possibility of running for president on the third-party ticket. Similarly, former centrist Republican Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland has stated that he has not closed the door on joining a No Labels ticket if the need arises.
No Labels has already gained access to ballots in at least ten states, more than a year before the 2024 presidential election.

Public Opinion on Biden and Trump
A recent poll revealed that 77% of voters believe Biden is too old to effectively serve another four-year term as president. Similarly, more than half of the public also perceives Trump as too old. However, despite these concerns, both candidates are leading in their respective primaries. In head-to-head matchups between Biden and Trump for the 2024 election, they consistently remain neck and neck, often within the margin of error.
