Chris Christie Rules Out A Third-Party Run With No Labels
HuffPost
The former New Jersey governor says it's not a feasible effort to beat Trump that way.
Former Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a fierce critic of presumed GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, said Wednesday he would not make a bid for the White House with third-party group No Labels.
Christie, who’s been exploring the possibility of a No Labels campaign in recent weeks after suspending his campaign with the GOP in January, said in a statement that he determined a run would be unsuccessful and potentially help Trump win by drawing votes away from Biden.
“I appreciate the encouragement I’ve gotten to pursue a third-party candidacy,” Christie said. “While I believe this is a conversation that needs to be had with the American people, I also believe that if there is not a pathway to win and if my candidacy in any way, shape or form would help Donald Trump become president again, then it is not the way forward.”
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, people involved with Christie’s exploration into joining No Labels told The Washington Post that his team commissioned polling in 13 states and concluded that a win wasn’t feasible at this time.
Christie wouldn’t rule out the idea in a “Good Morning America” interview last month.
