The former New Jersey governor still has to garner 1 percent support in two more eligible polls to officially make the stage in the first presidential primary debate.

Throughout his campaign, Chris Christie has aimed to cast former President Donald Trump as a failed leader whose legal and ethical baggage have made him unfit for office. | Jose Luis Magana/AP PhotoFormer New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said on Wednesday that he had garnered donations from more than 40,000 people in his presidential run, meeting a threshold that takes him one step closer to appearing on the Aug. 23 debate stage in the Republican primary.

“Last night, we went past 40,000 unique donors in just 35 days,” Christie told Anderson Cooper on CNN, noting that he far exceeded the number of donors he acquired in the same time frame in 2016. “There is a donor in every state in America, and we have over 200 donors in 36 states.” In the aforementioned qualifying poll, Trump garnered 56 percent support. The next highest-polling candidates were Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis with 17 percent and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy with 8 percent.
