Despite raising significant \u200bfunds, the group\u2062 concluded that no credible path to\u2063 victory \u2063existed, prompting them to withdraw from the initiative. No Labels has ended its pursuit of creating a competitive 2024 presidential election ticket after being unable to identify suitable candidates despite contacting 30 potential contenders.
