Two individuals privy to the details of the meeting, which took place on Thursday, confirmed to Fox News that the approximately 800 delegates participating are anticipated to vote in favor of what No Labels has termed a "unity ticket" in the presidential race.
While No Labels officials have refrained from publicly confirming any plans for Friday's virtual gathering, the group's senior strategist, Ryan Clancy, stated to Fox News, "we expect our delegates to encourage the process to continue."
This anticipated move, initially reported by the Associated Press, comes as several high-profile potential candidates for the No Labels ticket have withdrawn their names from consideration.
