Chris Christie Open to Third-Party Presidential Run with No Labels
Former New Jersey governor considers a bid to offer an alternative to Trump and Biden, amid concerns of spoiling the election.
- Chris Christie, the former New Jersey governor, is considering a third-party presidential run with the No Labels party, aiming to prevent a second Trump term.
- Despite previously calling No Labels 'a fool’s errand,' Christie now sees a potential path for a third-party candidate in the current political climate.
- No Labels, a centrist group, seeks to offer an alternative to the major party candidates, with Christie and others like Nikki Haley and Joe Manchin being considered.
- The group has already secured ballot access in 18 states and is working on more, despite concerns of acting as a spoiler in the general election.
- Christie's potential candidacy reflects widespread dissatisfaction with the current Republican and Democratic options, according to polling.
