Barely five days out from the New Hampshire Republican primary, all eyes are on Nikki Haley's candidacy. The 2024 GOP hopeful is campaigning extensively across the state. Backing her is Gov. Chris Sununu who's repeatedly billed the current election as a "two-person race" between Haley and Trump.

Recent polling out of the Granite State shows Haley tied with the former president as both carry 40% among the state's Republican electorate. Multiple news outlets have also followed Haley's New Hampshire campaign events, many of which attract considerable numbers of supporters.

As the Republican candidate's run garners more traction and coverage, No Labels (a political group promoting bipartisanship and centrist politics) extended an offer for Haley to run under their umbrella as a third-party contender.

Her campaign has since declined the invitation.

No Labels' offer and the response from Haley's team

Joe Lieberman, co-chair of No Labels, stated many within the organization see the former South Carolina governor as worthy of their backing on a third-party ticket. He then conceded that whether or not Haley opts to go this route is up to her.

In response to this, the GOP hopeful's campaign made it perfectly clear that Haley's focus is on winning the Republican Party's nomination. Spokeswoman Olivia Perez-Cubas announced the presidential candidate holds "no interest" in running under No Labels and remains happy as a GOP contender.

No Labels emerged amid growing public frustrations with both the Republican Party and the Democrat Party. Those who feel disillusioned with the two major political groups feel that the presence of a viable third party in the elections process is the only solution to ongoing political chaos.

More from Haley's campaign

After engaging in five GOP debates, Nikki Haley raised eyebrows when she announced the next debate she partakes in will be against either Donald Trump or Joe Biden.

Both Haley and Sununu have repeatedly called out the former president for refusing to attend any of the debates in the Republican primary. The New Hampshire governor even went as far as stating Trump remains too "chicken" to get on the stage.

Earlier this evening, Haley answered questions from Granite State voters during a CNN town hall event.
