Quick Glance: Chris Christie Declines No Labels Presidential Bid

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.

axios.com/2024/03/18/biden-trump-bloodbath-2024-campaign
Quick Glance: Trump Defends 'Bloodbath' Comment and Claims Critics, Media Misinterpreted
- Former President Donald Trump accused the media and Democrats of misconstruing his warning of a 'bloodbath' if he loses the election to President Joe Biden - emphasizing he was speaking about the fate of the auto industry, rather than threatening political violence, as his political adversaries and some pundits have suggested.
- Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday that 'the Fake News Media, and their Democrat Partners in the destruction of our Nation . . . fully understood' he was referencing the auto industry when he told a crowd in Dayton, Ohio, over the weekend: 'if I don't get elected it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole—that's gonna be the least of it.' But some went further, with Biden's re-election campaign calling Trump 'a loser who . . . doubles down on his threats of political violence' in a statement in response to Trump's use of the word.
- Trump expanded on his statements on Truth Social Monday, alleging that 'imports allowed by Crooked Joe Biden' are 'killing the automobile industry' while targeting the president's push for more electric vehicle manufacturing in an appeal to auto workers concerned about job loss from the transition to EVs.
- Former Vice President Mike Pence, who said last week he would not endorse Trump's 2024 bid, defended Trump's 'bloodbath' comments in a CBS interview on Sunday, stating that 'the president was clearly talking about the impact of imports devastating the American automotive industry.'

Judge McAfee found that Willis did not benefit personally from her relationship with Wade, but there remained an 'odor of mendacity.'

Quick Glance: Trump Trails Biden in Fundraising Amid Legal Bill Challenges
- President Biden's campaign maintains a significant financial edge over Donald Trump, who faces the challenges of fundraising for his potential return to office and settling his increasing legal bills seven months before the general election.
- Federal Election Commission reports revealed Biden's clear financial advantage over Trump, with Biden having $71 million in cash on hand compared to Trump's $33.5 million - more than double his rival's reserves.
- The reports highlight how Trump's legal issues are straining his campaign. Save America, the PAC used by the Trump campaign to cover legal expenses, spent more than it raised in February, with the majority of funds going towards legal costs.
- While trailing Trump in early polls, Biden's campaign and allied groups are surpassing Trump's fundraising efforts and the cash amassed for the general election.

apnews.com/article/wisconsin-constitutional-amendment-election-b363a19280b763eeccbab1860f11d5bc
Quick Glance: Decision of Wisconsin Voters on Election Funding Ban
- Wisconsin voters will soon vote on whether accepting private grant money to help administer state elections becomes unconstitutional. Republicans support the measure, while Democrats express concerns that conducting elections in the battleground state may become more challenging.
- The Wisconsin ballot on April 2 also includes constitutional amendments allowing only election officials designated by law to administer elections. Approval by the majority of voters would incorporate the amendments into the state's constitution.
- The measures in Wisconsin receive backing from Republicans and conservative groups but face opposition from government watchdog and liberal organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union, Common Cause Wisconsin, Wisconsin Conservation Voters, and the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin.
- The constitutional amendments in Wisconsin are purportedly aimed at making it harder to conduct elections and are based on false claims by former President Donald Trump and his supporters regarding widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential elections.
