Following its lack of success in the 2024 presidential election, No Labels announced it would shift back to its original mission of supporting centrist lawmakers in Congress. During its national conference in Washington, the group emphasized the need for bipartisanship and collaboration in addressing key issues like taxes, healthcare, and energy policy.
Chief strategist Ryan Clancy described the move as a return to No Labels’ roots, noting its early efforts in forming the Problem Solvers Caucus and advancing bipartisan legislation. The group had shifted focus during the 2024 election by attempting to launch a split-party presidential ticket, which ultimately faltered due to criticism from both major parties. Key figures like Sen. Joe Manchin (I-VT) and former Gov. Larry Hogan declined to run, forcing the group to abandon its plans.
Hogan, speaking at the event, acknowledged No Labels had gone “off-track” but praised its renewed focus on fostering bipartisanship. Lawmakers on both sides expressed optimism about the group’s potential to support centrist candidates in competitive districts, particularly in the face of a Republican trifecta in 2025.
Democratic Rep. Vicente Gonzales (D-TX) highlighted opportunities to pass bipartisan policies under the incoming Trump administration, especially on border issues. For now, No Labels plans to concentrate on congressional elections without any immediate plans to re-enter the national stage.
