前新泽西州长克里斯·克里斯蒂不会与唐纳德·川普在没有标签的第三方“统一”票他周三表示，在2024年总统竞选中。
克里斯蒂曾挑战前总统获得共和党提名，但在1月份退出了竞选。他是共和党候选人中对特朗普批评最多的人。
他在给美国广播公司新闻和其他媒体的一份声明中说:“我很感激我得到的鼓励，让我成为第三方候选人。”
“虽然我相信这是一场需要与美国人民进行的对话，但我也相信，如果没有获胜的途径，如果我的候选资格以任何方式、形式或形式有助于唐纳德·特朗普再次成为总统，那么这不是前进的道路，”他说。
克里斯蒂还不赞同特朗普预计将在大选中与总统乔·拜登(Joe Biden)再次竞选。
“在我看来，我们有两个糟糕的选择，”他上个月在美国广播公司的“观点”节目中说。
他说二月份的会议也是如此美国广播公司新闻主播乔治·斯特凡诺普洛斯。
“我可以肯定地告诉你的一件事是，我不知道11月份我要做什么。但在任何情况下，我都不会投票给唐纳德·特朗普，”他当时表示。
在那次采访中，他还为可能加入No Labels敞开了大门。No Labels一直在寻求拉拢各种潜在候选人，争取在秋季与特朗普和拜登竞争两党席位。
迄今为止，这一努力并不成功。
一位接近克里斯蒂的消息人士表示，他没有把任何标签当回事——最近几周委托进行了民意调查并与捐助者进行了交谈——但最终认为没有一条可行的总统之路，他以第三方身份参选可能有助于特朗普当选。
尽管克里斯蒂上个月告诉斯特凡诺普洛斯，“如果在我们的一生中有一个第三方候选人可以有所作为的时候，我认为就是现在”——他也表示这种努力必须是现实的。
他说:“我过去说过，我必须为任何人找到一条道路——不仅仅是我——但我认为任何接受这一点的人都需要找到一条通往270，270张选举人票的道路。”
Chris Christie won't run third-party with No Labels against Trump in 2024 race
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie won't run against Donald Trump ona third-party "unity" ticket with No Labelsin the 2024 presidential race, he said on Wednesday.
Christie had challenged the former president for the Republican nomination but exited the race in January. He was the most vocal Trump critic of the GOP candidates.
"I appreciate the encouragement I've gotten to pursue a third-party candidacy," he said in a statement to ABC News and other outlets.
"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 said.
Christie has also spoken disapprovingly of Trump's expected rematch with President Joe Biden in the general election.
"We have two awful choices here, in my view," he said on ABC's "The View" last month.
He saidmuch the same in a February sit-downwith ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos.
"The one thing I can tell you for sure is I don't know what I'm gonna do in November. But I'm not voting for Donald Trump, under any circumstances," he said then.
In that interview, he also left the door open to potentially joining No Labels, which has been seeking to woo various potential candidates for a bipartisan ticket to run against Trump and Biden in the fall.
That effort has, to date, been unsuccessful.
A source close to Christie said he took No Labels very seriously -- commissioning polls and talking to donors in recent weeks -- but ultimately thought there wasn’t a viable path to the presidency and that him running third-party could help elect Trump.
Though Christie told Stephanopoulos last month that "if there was ever a time in our lifetime when a third-party candidate could make a difference, I think it's now" -- he also said such an effort must be realistic.
"What I've said in the past is that I'd have to see a path for anybody -- not just me -- but I think anybody who would accept that would need to see a path to 270, 270 electoral votes," he said.
