In late July, Politico reported that Third Way, a self-described centrist political group, met with Democratic chiefs of staff in the United States Senate to brief them about the danger to President Joe Biden’s reelection if a third-party presidential candidate runs from the center. The whisper candidate of choice is Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV). Another centrist group, No Labels, is reportedly looking to spend more than $70 million on such a bid.
