Chris Christie turns down No Labels presidential bid after discussions
Quick Glance: Chris Christie Declines No Labels Presidential Bid
  • Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie (R) has made the decision not to run as the No Labels candidate for president after extensively evaluating the prospects of a centrist third-party campaign against President Biden and former president Donald Trump.

  • During the recent weeks, Christie, along with his team, explored the possibility of joining a No Labels campaign, while No Labels leaders intensified their efforts to court him as a candidate.

  • In conclusion, Christie determined that while there is an abstract interest in a third choice in the upcoming election, there is no practical path to victory. The challenges include significant ballot access and legal expenses, a delayed start in fundraising campaign funds, and the risk of diverting votes from Biden to elect Trump as president, according to those involved.

  • The No Labels leaders have set a deadline in early April to nominate a presidential ticket, with a clear indication that they will only proceed if they can recruit someone with a feasible chance of winning. Individuals involved with No Labels have informed others in recent weeks that they anticipate Christie will be the nominee, as reported by individuals familiar with the discussions.

Quick Glance: Tammy Murphy Withdraws from Race for Menendez’s Senate Seat
  • Tammy Murphy, New Jersey's first lady, has decided to suspend her candidacy for a U.S. Senate seat currently held by Senator Robert Menendez.

  • In order to avoid running a divisive and negative campaign, she chose not to continue competing in the Democratic primary against Representative Andy Kim.

  • Following a meeting with Democratic Party leaders, she opted to suspend her campaign and focus entirely on re-electing President Biden and other Democrats.

  • As the deadline for filing petitions with at least 1,000 signatures has passed, her name will not appear on the primary ballot.

Quick Glance: Trump argues against fair trial this year
  • Former U.S. President Donald Trump gestures during an event at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, on June 13, 2023, following his arraignment on charges related to mishandling classified documents.

  • During a court hearing on Thursday, Donald Trump's legal team presented arguments to a U.S. judge, claiming that a fair trial regarding the mishandling of classified documents cannot be achieved this year as he campaigns for the presidency.

  • The case against Trump led by U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith requested a trial start date of July 8.

  • Facing 40 federal charges for alleged retention of sensitive national security documents at his Florida resort post-presidency in 2021, and impeding government efforts to recover them, Trump maintains a plea of not guilty.
