No Labels is struggling to create a ticket challenging Trump and Biden
RFK Jr.’s sister concerned he will 'siphon' votes from Biden, allow Trump to win
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s sister, Rory Kennedy, expressed concerns Monday over his campaign possibly hurting President Biden's chances at re-election.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie turned down an offer to run for president on a "No Labels" ticket on Wednesday.
The No Labels group has struggled to put forward a ticket challenging both former President Trump and President Biden in the 2024 election. The group contacted Christie about a potential run last week after he appeared to leave the door open to a third party run in a public interview.
"I appreciate the encouragement I’ve gotten to pursue a third party candidacy. I believe we need a country that once again feels like everyone has a stake in what we're doing and leadership that strives to bring people together, instead of using anger to divide us," Christie said in a statement.
"While I believe this is a conversation that needs to be had with the American people, I also believe that if there is not a pathway to win and if my candidacy in any way, shape or form would help Donald Trump become president again, then it is not the way forward," he added.

Christie ended his 2024 GOP nomination campaign in mid-January. The one-time Trump supporter, ally, and adviser broke with him over the then-president's attempts to overturn his 2020 election loss to President Biden. Christie became an extremely vocal GOP critic of the former president and made his opposition to Trump a centerpiece of his 2024 White House run.

Earlier this month, No Labels took further steps toward forming a bipartisan presidential ticket in November's general election, as it announced the formation of a committee to vet candidates for a potential ticket. The announcement of the committee came a week after roughly 800 No Labels delegates who took part in a virtual meeting voted to give a thumbs up to fielding a presidential ticket.

No Labels has nevertheless approached several potential candidates in recent months, none of whom have moved forward with a campaign.
