Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie predicts that in a likely extremely combustible 2024 Republican presidential nomination race, “it’s not going to end nicely' for former President Donald Trump.
and 2016 presidential contender who’s seriously mulling another White House run, argued that he’s got the debate chops to potentially take down Trump should he face off with the former president, who four months into his third White House run remains the clear front-runner in the early GOP nomination national polls.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a 2016 Republican presidential candidate who's considering another White House run, headlines a town hall in New Hampshire at Saint Anselm College, on March 27, 2023, in Goffstown, N.H. Christie, who is considered one of the best communicators in the GOP and was known during his tenure for the kind of in-your-face politics that Trump has also mastered, was asked by Fox News after the town hall if he thought any of the other actual or potential contenders in the emerging Republican presidential field also had the debate skills to effectively take on Trump.
Christie became the first among the other GOP 2016 contenders to endorse Trump and for years was a top outside adviser to the then-president and chaired Trump’s high-profile commission on opioids. However, the two had a falling out after Trump’s unsuccessful attempts to overturn his 2020 election loss to President Biden. The past two years Christie has become one of the most vocal Trump critics in the GOP.
Christie reiterated that"we are the party of me right now. It’s about him and nothing else. You can’t win as the party of me…you’ve got to win as the party of us." Christie also zeroed in on a DeSantis comment from a"Fox and Friends interview in February. The Florida governor, criticizing the Biden administration’s Ukraine policy, said"they have effectively a blank check policy with no clear strategic objective identified and these things can escalate. And I don’t think it’s in our interest to be getting into proxy war with China, getting involved over things like the borderlands or over Crimea.
