The centrist group No Labels on Thursday announced its 2024 nominating committee for a third-party presidential ticket.

This makes the group one step closer to challenging President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump on the November general election ballot.

The Country Over Party Committee, comprised of about a dozen individuals, was announced late Thursday by the group’s founding chairman, former Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman.

“The Country Over Party Committee, of which I am a member, is leading a rigorous process to ensure potential candidates embrace the governing values of the No Labels movement and the key elements of our Common Sense policy booklet,” Lieberman wrote in a post of the selection committee. “If we find two candidates that meet our high threshold, we will recommend that ticket to No Labels’ delegates for a nomination vote at a National Nominating Convention that will be held later this spring.”

National Convention Chairman Mike Rawlings pointed to a rolling national dialogue the group has had with its delegates in a video shared on Thursday before he laid out the specific timeline for selecting the presidential ticket.

“To be considered for inclusion on the No Labels unity ticket a candidate will be expected to make two foundational commitments,” Rawlings said. “One, they must agree to the six core beliefs of the No Labels movement. That we care about this country more than the demands of any political party. Political leaders need to listen more to the majority of Americans and less of the extremists on the far left and far right.”

“And two they must endorse the key elements of the No Labels common sense policy booklet,” Rawlings continued. “Which includes 30 ideas to address our nation’s most important challenges ranging from immigration and border security to the budget, inflation, and growing threats from abroad.”

The Country Over Party Committee will propose a unity ticket to delegates after deliberating and selecting presidential and vice presidential candidates. Once the delegates are given a majority support from the delegates, they will then have the nomination and appear on the ballot under the No Labels unity ticket.

“Once the Unity ticket is nominated, No Labels work is done,” Rawlings said. “And the Unity ticket will assume the task of building a campaign and capturing the hearts and minds of the American people in the 2024 election.”

Lieberman went so far as to tell CNN Thursday afternoon that a decision could come as early as March 21.

But the group has faced trouble finding a credible Democrat or Republican to join its third-party ticket.

No Labels is reportedly looking to lead the unity ticket with a Republican. The Wall Street Journal reported No Labels is looking at Geoff Duncan, former Republican lieutenant governor of Georgia, to be its presidential nominee. to lead the ticket.

Yet Lieberman also conceded that finding a leading candidate is not guaranteed.

Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Mitt Romney (R-UT) passed on joining No Labels for a presidential run. Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley unequivocally rejected the group’s overtures before she dropped out of the 2024 race.

Popular former Maryland Republican Gov. Larry Hogan also declined to launch a 2024 campaign with No Labels and instead chose to run for Maryland’s open Senate seat.

“We are searching for candidates with values and ideas that reflect those of the commonsense majority as well as the courage to challenge America’s broken two-party duopoly,” Lieberman wrote. “If No Labels is unable to find candidates who meet this high threshold, then we simply will not offer our ballot line to anyone.”
