   A political party has won ballot access in three states, aiming to   
   offer voters a viable third-party option for president in 2024, and   
   Democrats are worried the group will act as a "spoiler" to hand the   
   presidency to Republicans.   
      
   No Labels, a group that claims to want to give voters a non-extreme   
   presidential option next year, has gained enough support to appear on   
   2024 presidential election ballots in Colorado, Arizona and Oregon.   
   Criticism of the group varies between those calling it a blatant effort   
   to hurt President Joe Biden's reelection chances to those calling it   
   outright grift.   
      
   "Rather than producing a third-party ticket that would defy the   
   overwhelming odds and win, No Labels is on track to field a spoiler who   
   would reelect Trump or a Trump-like Republican," think tank Third Way   
   said in a memo this week.   
      
   "No Labels is committed to fielding a candidate that will,   
   intentionally or not, provide a crucial boost to Republicans — and a   
   major obstacle to Biden. As a result, they’ll make it far more likely —   
   if not certain — that Donald Trump returns to the White House."
