Would Mike Pompeo Run Third Party?

Tara Palmeri: “Despite all his West Point, Harvard Law School, and C.I.A. credibility, Mike Pompeo spent much of his career as a Koch supplicant and Trump ring-kisser, an opportunist’s opportunist who knows how to expertly conceal his ambition under the veneer of umbrage. And yet Pompeo’s most recent bout of opportunism might seem a bit far-fetched: In October, the one-day presumptive Republican presidential contender flew to Dallas to meet with No Labels, the bipartisan group that is pushing for a third party ticket on the ballot in 2024.”

“No Labels, as I’ve reported in the past, has been stoking interest among its wealthy Wall Street (and Wall Street-adjacent) supporters interested in a third party challenge to a presumptive Trump-Biden rematch.”

“Pompeo’s meeting was attended by No Labels founder Nancy Jacobson and disgraced former journalist Mark Halperin, who works for the organization.”
