"Stop this effort Now": Democratic Party officials urge leaders to denounce No Labels in internal email
CBSN
Regional Democratic Party officials quietly circulated what they said were instructions from the Democratic National Committee, along with suggestions about how local party officials could help try to thwart efforts by the group No Labels to mount a third-party 2024 presidential bid, new records obtained by CBS News show.
"We need to do everything we can to stop this effort NOW, and not wait until they name a ticket and this becomes a runaway train," a Democratic Party official in Utah said in an email obtained by CBS News. "And right now is the moment to act, while the conventional wisdom on this hasn't hardened yet and we have the opportunity to shape it."
When reached for comment, the official provided another phone number but then did not respond to subsequent calls.
