The director\u200d expressed the difficulty \u2062of opposing the two-party system and the lack of a\u2063 unifying &#8220;hero&#8221; emerging.

Despite\u2064 striving to introduce alternative candidates, No Labels\u200b encountered hurdles\u200d in identifying feasible choices.

I would vote for Biden over Trump,\u201d Cunningham responded.<\/p>\n<p>The No Labels director told Cavuto that his group\u2019s biggest issue in fielding a challenger to the two political parties was finding \u201ca hero,\u201d which he said \u201cnever emerged.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been very straightforward and upfront and honest with the American public that we were gonna field this ticket if two conditions were met. Number 1, if Americans wanted another option, which is definitely, box is checked,\u201d Cunningham said. \u201cAnd number 2, if we\u2019re able to find candidates that we believe have a pathway to victory. And that\u2019s where we ran into a bit of trouble. At the end of the day, we weren\u2019t able to find candidates we felt had a straightforward path of victory in this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cunningham added that it was \u201cdifficult\u201d to find candidates who would stand up to the two-party establishment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the end of the day, pushing back against your respective political party is difficult in this duopoly. The establishment does not reward dissent,\u201d he told Cavuto. \u201cSo we found it difficult to find the leaders to step up with the courage to be able to say, \u2018Ok, we are putting our country first, and, you know, damn the consequences within our respective parties.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;No Labels&#8221; National Director <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeCunninghamSC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JoeCunninghamSC<\/a> to Neil: &#8220;No labels was looking for a hero.
