Former Georgia lieutenant governor Jeff Duncan says he will not run as a third-party candidate for No Labels in the 2024 presidential election.
Duncan made the announcement Monday after more than a week of rumors that he was launching a campaign against both President Biden and former President Trump.
“After careful consideration, I have withdrawn my name as a candidate for the No Labels presidential election,” Duncan said Monday. “I’m honored to be called on and I’m grateful to all those who are working in good faith to give the American people a better option than a Trump-Biden rematch.
“In addition to a career in the private sector and making a living for my family of five, I am committed to working with Republican Party 2.0 to heal and improve the Republican Party so we can elect more common-sense conservative candidates in the future. “I’m focused on doing that,” he added.
