Hi Friend,
In the 2020 presidential election, 158 million Americans turned out to vote.
But only 42 million of those votes really mattered in deciding who won the White House.
That’s because those 42 million votes came from eight competitive “swing states,” where the winning margin for Trump or Biden was under 5 percent. The other 116 million votes came from states that weren’t competitive at all. Watching the election returns in many of these states was like watching a game between the Harlem Globetrotters and Washington Generals. (Biden won D.C. by 87 percentage points and Vermont by 35, while Trump won Wyoming by 43 and West Virginia by 39).
If you have been thinking there seems to be fewer and fewer swing states in recent elections, you’d be right.
If 2024 is just a Trump-Biden rematch, some observers believe only four states (Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and Wisconsin) will be truly competitive.
But what if a No Labels Unity ticket were in the mix for 2024?
That would change the map entirely.
According to No Labels’ extensive polling and modeling, a No Labels Unity ticket has a viable path to an Electoral College victory in 25 states and an outside shot in 13 more states. Only 13 states would be sure bets for the Democratic or Republican nominees.
With a No Labels ticket, classic red states, like Florida and Texas, would be back in play as would reliably blue states, like Illinois and Washington.
Once again, candidates would actually have to compete for the votes of every American, not just a few from a few states.
It’s just one more reason why the time has come for Americans to have another choice on the ballot in 2024. And No Labels is here to make sure that your vote matters.
