ICYMI: USA Today: “No Labels tells me they don’t want to be a 2024 election spoiler. It’s time to prove it.”

Rahna Epting: “They’re inconsistent. They’re unclear. The math doesn’t add up.”  READ THE STORY HERE Washington, D.C. – A new piece from USA Today highlights No Labels’ third-party campaign, supported by dark money and a secret nomination process that is nearly universally believed to be a spoiler effort to reelect Trump.  “They are contradicting themselves regularly,” MoveOn Political Action Executive Director Rahna Epting says in the story. “They’re inconsistent.

Biden’s Economic Formula to Win in 2024

President Joe Biden and Democrats cannot win the debate over the economy without fundamentally reframing the terms of the choice they are offering voters, an extensive new research study by one of the party’s prominent electoral-strategy groups has concluded. The study, scheduled to be released today, seeks to mitigate one of the party’s most glaring vulnerabilities heading into the 2024 election: the consistent finding in surveys that when it comes to managing the national economy or addressing inflation, significantly more voters express confidence in Republicans than in Democrats. To close…
