Chris Christie turns down No Labels third-party presidential run - UPI.com
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: Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire - A Sad Nostalgia Bait
  • Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire disappoints as the weakest link in the series, overloaded with nostalgic references.

  • Despite some positives like the portrayal of Phoebe Spengler and the intriguing lore of the new villain Garraka, the film is often derailed by the return of the original cast.

  • The plot involving an ancient artifact unleashing a new ice age presents promising elements, but the excessive tethering to the past comes off as pitiful and tiresome.

  • Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire embodies the state of the modern blockbuster, attempting to capture fans' attention at all costs but ultimately falling short of expectations.
