No Labels<\/a> will likely take another step towards forming a bipartisan presidential ticket in November’s general election, when the centrist group’s delegates huddle during a virtual gathering on Friday.<\/p>\n

Two sources with knowledge of the meeting on Thursday confirmed to Fox News that the roughly 800 delegates taking part are expected to vote to give a thumbs up to fielding what the No Labels has described as a “unity ticket” in the presidential election.<\/a><\/p>\n

No Labels officials would not publicly confirm any plans for tomorrow\u2019s virtual gathering. But in a statement to Fox News, No Labels senior strategist Ryan Clancy did say “we expect our delegates to encourage the process to continue.”<\/p>\n

But the expected move, first reported by the Associated Press, comes as some high-profile potential candidates for the No Labels ticket have taken their names out of contention.<\/p>\n

NO LABELS CHARGES OPPONENTS ARE TRYING TO KEEP IT OFF THE BALLOT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

For over a year, No Labels has mulled a third party ticket, as it pointed to poll after poll suggesting that many Americans were anything but enthused about a 2024 election rematch between President Biden<\/a> and former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

And No Labels had long said that it would decide whether to launch a presidential ticket following Super Tuesday, when 16 states from coast to coast held nominating primaries and caucuses.<\/p>\n

Trump is now considered<\/a> the presumptive Republican nominee, after winning 14 of the 15 GOP nominating contests on Tuesday. Trump’s last remaining rival – former U.N. ambassador and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley – dropped out of the 2024 race on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Biden also ran the table on Super Tuesday, winning 14 of the 15 Democratic contests. And Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota – one of the two long-shot challengers to the president – suspended his White House bid on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Both Biden and Trump will formally clinch their party nominations in the next week or two, and their campaigns have now moved into general election mode.<\/p>\n

No Labels is not expected to name its presidential and vice presidential picks on Friday, but instead will likely kick off a formal selection process which would lead to the naming of candidates in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

But former two-term Republican Gov. Larry Hogan<\/a> of Maryland, a former No Labels leader who was considered a potential contender for the group’s ticket, recently took his name out of contention as he announced a run this year for an open Senate seat in his home state.<\/p>\n

And moderate Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin<\/a> of West Virginia, who is not seeking re-election and who flirted with a White House run, has also said he won’t launch a presidential bid.<\/p>\n

There was plenty of speculation that Haley<\/a> would consider running on a No Labels ticket if she dropped her Republican White House bid. And No Labels had expressed interest in Haley earlier this year.<\/p>\n

But Haley repeatedly nixed joining a No Labels ticket, most recently on Tuesday in an interview on “Fox and Friends.”<\/p>\n

“What I will tell you is I\u2019m a conservative Republican. I have said many, many times, I would not run as an independent. I would not run as No Labels because I am a Republican, and that\u2019s who I\u2019ve always been,” she reiterated.<\/p>\n

No Labels says it’s already on the ballot in 14 states \u2013 and currently working in over a dozen other states to obtain access.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There’s been a chorus of calls from Democrats warning that a No Labels ticket would pave a path to victory for Trump in November. But the group dismisses that criticism.<\/p>\n

“That’s not our goal here,” Lieberman told Fox News Digital late last year. “We’re not about electing either President Trump or President Biden.”<\/p>\n

The No Labels meeting on Friday is closed to press coverage. The group says it will release a statement after the gathering concludes.<\/p>\n
