Chris Christie is running for president. The former New Jersey governor on Tuesday filed paperwork to run with the Federal Election Commission, despite every external factor indicating he has absolutely no chance to even sniff the Republican nomination.
Christie continued to support Trump and backed his reelection bid in 2020, but ahead of the 2024 he’s refashioned himself as a vocal critic of the former president. He finally soured on Trump, he claims, when Trump tried to overturn President Biden’s win. “You know what Donald Trump said a couple of weeks ago?” Christie told a New Hampshire crowd in March. “‘I am your retribution.’ Guess what, everybody? No thanks.
Christie continued to argue that he’ll be able to wipe the floor with Trump on a debate stage, referencingduring the 2016 primary. “You better have somebody on that stage who can do to him what I did to Marco, because that’s the only thing that’s gonna defeat Donald Trump,” he added in New Hampshire. Christie seems pretty confident he’ll have a chance to take it to Trump despite speculation that Trump may skip out on the debates altogether.
