Former Attorney General William “Bill” Barr blasted left-wing groups for their attempts to block No Labels from achieving ballot access in all 50 states for the 2024 election, stating that the effort “extinguishes First Amendment rights.”

In an op-ed to the Wall Street Journal, Barr said that the campaign to disenfranchise No Labels’ third-party initiative to offer an alternative candidate other than President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump in the 2024 election is “profoundly wrong” and “profoundly hypocritical.”
