Joe Manchin (D-WV) is set to appear as one of the keynote speakers for the first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-republicans-plan-onslaught-of-investigations-into-bidens-china-ties-virus-origins\/\" title=\"House Republicans Plan Onslaught of Investigations Into Biden\u2019s China Ties, Virus Origins\">town hall event hosted<\/a> by No Labels, a centrist political group that has teased an alternative option for voters in the 2024 election.<\/p>\n<p>Manchin will appear alongside former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire on Monday evening, just one day after the group is set to release its \u201cCommon Sense\u201d policy agenda for the 2024 cycle. Manchin\u2019s appearance comes as the West Virginia senator has kept his options open for next year, repeatedly telling reporters he has not decided whether he\u2019ll run for reelection or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/three-more-house-dems-retire-ahead-of-2022-midterms-including-key-centrist-leader\/\" title=\"Three More House Dems Retire Ahead of 2022 Midterms, Including Key Centrist Leader\">seek higher office<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Uniting Americans through Engaged Debates<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt is clear that most Americans are exceedingly frustrated by the growing divide in our political parties and toxic political rhetoric from our elected leaders,\u201d Manchin said in a statement. \u201cOur political discourse is lacking engaged debates around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fmr-hud-secy-carson-announces-launch-of-new-conservative-non-profit\/\" title=\"Fmr. HUD Secy. Carson announces launch of new conservative non-profit\">common sense solutions<\/a> to solve the pressing issues facing our nation. I am looking forward to modeling this type of conversation with my good friend, Gov. Huntsman, and the No Labels community. The things that unite Americans are much stronger than the things that divide us and I am confident that will be evident throughout our discussion.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>No Labels has garnered national attention in recent months as it actively courts centrists in both parties who could make up a 2024 presidential \u201cunity ticket\u201d as an alternative to \u201cdivisive\u201d candidates. The group has described these efforts as an \u201cinsurance policy\u201d in the 2024 presidential election, vowing to drop its bid if either party manages to provide a candidate whom centrist voters can accept.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, the group said it would aim to provide an option for voters who don\u2019t want to see President Joe Biden or former President Donald Trump win the White House \u2014 meaning a possible rematch between the two could pave the way for a third-party ticket.<\/p>\n<p>This strategy has prompted pushback from several Democratic groups, which argue a third-party ticket would provide a crucial boost to the GOP and open the door for Trump or a MAGA-aligned candidate to be elected. Others have pointed to evidence showing third-party candidates typically do poorly in general elections, arguing that No Labels would not have a large enough base of support to win.<\/p>\n<p>However, No Labels has cited its own internal polling that shows overwhelming support for a third-party ticket that could realistically win the White House. But the group vowed to drop its bid if Trump is not the GOP nominee.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;So, we&#8217;re not making a subjective judgment on Ron DeSantis is or is not better, worse, conservative, less conservative than Trump or any other. What we&#8217;re doing is sticking to the plan we&#8217;ve had from the very beginning, which is: This is only worth doing if you think you can win,&#8221; No Labels CEO Ryan Clancy told the Washington Examiner last month. &#8220;And today, the data is telling us it looks like it&#8217;d be a really steep road for an independent to win if it&#8217;s a Republican other than Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
