No Labels: A Bipartisan Approach to Governing
No Labels is a bipartisan organization that focuses on creating a bipartisan governing coalition in Congress. They aim to bridge the divide between left-wing and right-wing members of Congress by organizing a group called the Problem Solvers Caucus, which consists of 60 members evenly divided between the parties. Their goal is to work towards bipartisan solutions and elevate the voices of moderate leaders who are willing to work across party lines. They believe that the current political system leaves out a vast majority of Americans who have common-sense positions on various issues. No Labels is also exploring the possibility of running a moderate independent candidate in the 2024 election, but they emphasize that they will only proceed if the candidate's viability and plausibility are strong according to polling data and public support.
