Ex-GA Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan Won’t Run As No Labels Candidate: Reports

by Fulton Watch News Feed

GEORGIA — Geoff Duncan, Georgia’s former GOP lieutenant governor, said he will not seek a 2024 presidential bid as a No Labels candidate, according to media reports.

Duncan, who served as Georgia’s 12th lieutenant governor from 2019-23, officially withdrew from the race to be the nation’s next chief executive, the Associated Press reported Monday.

“After careful deliberation, I have withdrawn my name from consideration for the No Labels presidential ticket,” Duncan said in a statement to the Associated Press. “It was an honor to be approached, and I am grateful to all those who are engaged in good-faith efforts to offer Americans a better choice than the Trump vs. Biden re-match.”

Duncan added he is striving to heal and improve the Republican party in an effort to have “more common-sense conservative candidates in the future,” the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

The Associated Press reported Duncan joined other potential No Labels candidates, such as Republican former presidential candidate Nikki Haley and Republican former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan.

“No Labels has been working aggressively — and privately — to field a so-called ‘unity ticket’ designed to provide voters with an alternative to former President Donald Trump, a Republican, and President Joe Biden, a Democrat, in the general election,” the Associated Press wrote.
