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: Colombia Expels Argentine Diplomats Following Controversial Remarks by Milei About Petro
- In response to Argentine President Javier Milei labeling Colombian President Gustavo Petro as a 'terrorist,' 'murderer,' and 'communist' in an interview with CNN, Colombia ordered the expulsion of Argentine diplomats from their embassy in the Andean nation.
- According to Colombia's foreign ministry, the Argentine president's comments have undermined Colombia's trust and offended the dignity of President Petro, who was democratically elected.
- Following Milei's provocative comments, Colombia recalled its ambassador to Argentina earlier this year. Petro, who is Colombia's first leftist president, has a background as a former member of the long-demobilized M-19 guerrilla movement.
- In addition to his criticism of Petro, the Libertarian Milei also targeted other regional leaders in excerpts of the interview, including Mexico's Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
