Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is launching a comeback tour as he considers whether to mount a 2024 presidential bid that could put him on a collision course with Donald Trump

Chris Christie announces he will seek the 2016 Republican nomination for president June 30, 2015, at Livingston High School, his alma mater, in Livingston, N.J. | .

While Christie told POLITICO in an interview that his speech would not be focused on Trump, he plans to stress that Republicans “first and foremost” need to be “the party that’s perceived to be telling the American people the truth” — perhaps an implicit critique of the former president, who according to his own pollster’swas regarded as less trustworthy than Joe Biden.

“The emphasis of the speech is not about Trump,” said Christie, who also stressed that he agreed with much of Trump’s policy agenda. “But … you’ll hear the speech and I think there’ll be lots that you’ll be able to take from it, conclusions you’ll be able to take from it, even about things that are not explicitly said.”Other would-be 2024 presidential contenders making appearances at the library so far this year include former Vice President Mike Pence and ex-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

this is a joke right?

F*** Chris Christie.

Head to the beach Christie, your done here!

Some people just don’t know when it’s time to ride off into the sunset.

That would be great. Republicans will divide their votes and Biden will prevail. Thank you, Chris Christie.

Christie isn't MAGA enough to survive a primary.

Berlidge 😳

Lol

Washed up..

😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

there was a time when that would have been possible, but it ain't now or in 2024.

Is there no one in his inner circle that can tell him that his time is over?!?

Andrew Guilliani just isn't working out eh 🤣🤣🤣 I smell desperation!

Oh Please he would pull over that Campaign and yield to Trump in a Heart Beat!

Oh hell no!!!!

Sufficient evidence of integrity deficiency here by any sensible standard….however a GOP standard of criteria floats lower than whale poop at the ocean bottom, so they may love this master of donuts.

Berlidge Me run for President. Trump my VP.

I welcome it lol

What a waste

Collision course? He’d get run over

He cannot be trusted EVER to have America’s interest at heart.

Dude needs to give it up and realize no one likes him

That's a bridge too far sir

I wouldn’t want to be involved in any collision with Chris Christie.

Didn’t he kill some people shutting down a bridge or something

Another GOPer willing to flush this country down the drain for his own political ambition.

He’ll get even less of the vote than Bill Weld in 2016

When push comes to shove, he will do whatever his tangerine daddy tells him to do

Someone like Chris Christie that has failed at so many things so many ways would be a complete joke of a candidate...if the other candidates were serious people...

🤣 do it

No one would even consider voting for him

All of this is true but it was kind of amusing when Christie called out Rubio at the Republican debates for parroting the same comments over and over.

Fat chance 👎🏼

His comeback from “never was”.

embraceemoiq Maybe DJT should promote this fight. Let them duke it out. May they both lose. TwoLosers

Lol. 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣 😂

So ... While DeSantis, Abbott and Noem are trying to out-lawsuit each other, Christie slides his toe in the campaign waters first? Hahahahaha

He is trying to backtrack. He supported trump 100%

How many times can this poor man sync his own ship?

I never thought I would say this, but I hope Christie runs in '24. 😐

Democrats should want this. He is far less vile than Trump. I’d much rather have him than Trump. He has my support in primary.

Why?

😴

Are there even 10 Americans who would support his campaign? What his slogan be? “I’m a mediocre sycophant”

Only Caitlyn Jenner is more delusional about their prospects for public office.

ew no

Good to see him give up the Trump valet position.

From a ELEPHANT To a RINO ! Great transformation, Tubby !

He left NJ with a 15% approval rating. He’s despised here. Whites, blacks, browns, high income, low income, dogs, cats…..all can’t stand him.

Remember when the former guy, who incited a deadly riot, said Christie can’t be trusted to be president because of bridgegate? Closing a bridge sure sounds harmless compared to Trump inciting his cult mob to violently storm the Capitol because he lost an election.

Don't waste the little political capital you have left. Instead spend that time exercising and eating less

He will never be elected

i would vote for him over trump

Collusion course

Christie and Trump colliding? Oh that could be messy.

Bravely speaking out nine months after the fact.

I used to really like Chris Christie. He was the straight talker (“Get the hell off the beach!” during Hurricane Sandy). Was disappointed when he threw his lot in with TFG. Would like to see the old Chris Christie in the primary. But I will still vote for Joe. 🇺🇸

😂 Stop making me laugh! 😂😂😂

Oh good God. Do these guys ever just give up? Political power surely is a powerful addiction. Start a GoFundMe —Go to rehab. I’m happy to donate.

Is this a joke?

Christie should sit this one out. Can u say snowball’s chance in hell.

Another big waste of money. Just say no!

Oh this would be fun to watch him get demolished ...again.

He'd be better of at the beach.

😂😂😂😂

i would read this but as of last year and up to now, Politico is trash.

Remember that he left office with a 17% approval rating. NJ folks are not fans of this guy.

Lol……

ChrisChristie is a moose knuckled clown. President Hahahahahahahahaha!

Just say no.

Hard pass

Is he counting on Americans’ short attention span?

He doesn't have a prayer of getting elected.

Good one

DaveEsporado Every 4 yrs we have many candidates that dont have a snowball's chance in Hell, but they always seem to manage to convince some people to donate to them. I guess its a great grift if you can get it..

lol

Mr.Christie threw his state team under the bus during Bridgegate and he was last seen prepping TFG sans mask followed by hospitalization for Covid. He appears to be all brawn( ?) no brains and lest we forget he was a loyal FG lap dog thrown to the wolves at cabinet selection time

The reason Christie would never win is because of his weight!

Dude can't find a real job or what?

NO. NO. JUST NO.

Do it. Take on Trump. 🍊🤡🦠

Sad commentary on the GOP that the two choices are Trump and Christie. Both are very unlikable.

He’s looking to make $ from PACs, etc

ChrisChristie OMG…give it up already, Christie. Enough. You failed miserably Governor and have lost how many races? You’re just using donors and taxpayers to grift money like Trump.

Lol...

I’m tired of men whose childhood dream is to become Pregnant and they don’t care what they say or do until they get the job.

Dude, nobody cares what you have to say or do. Don’t waste your money.?

He had a 17% approval rating from the people who knew him best. Why do you promote crap like this?

We just recycle politicians. What a waste of time and print. News?

Nope.

Chris Christie can never step out of the shadow of Trump or his own unpopularity & failure in NJ. GovChristie supported Trump who clearly wasn’t ready to be president with disastrous consequences, & that shows Christie still isn’t ready alex

AJDelgado13 JUST GO AWAY! There’s a reason you didn’t get traction in 2016….you haven’t done anything to improve your standing since then, so, Bye Felicia!

Go for it chubby

Soooooo…he thinks people are clamoring for a Christie presidency? Interesting.

😂😂😂

He’s got to get healthy first.

😆😆😆😆😆

Yawn

Well why not. Duke it out. But you already screwed yourself and showed yourself.

Even people in other states hated him…..and he wasn’t their Governor,ffs.

lol

This will go nowhere

Ha! He’s clearly wasting his time.

No, stay gone.

🤮

seemva1 He'll lose his ass which might not be a bad thing literally. If he did when, they would have to re-install the Taft tub.

Stop it!

seemva1

_Carja He knows he has no chance. This is just a way to make some money raising funds for his 'election'.

AJDelgado13 Wow, same 💩, different day. CC should just ride off into the sunset. No one wants to hear from him, or tfg.

He’ll make a good diapered balloon too! Maybe him in the beach chair…

_Carja The picture of him on the beach he closed to others, and 'bridgegate' will tank a presidential run the way the Access Hollywood tape and mocking an other-abled reporter should have.

Lol 😂

Let's talk about bridges

He's forever tied to Trump.

AJDelgado13 Looking forward to Christie getting humiliated (again) in front of his family.

Between Trump and Christie, I’ll take Christie if it means other Trump acolytes or wackos (like Cruz, Rubio, Hawley, or Cotton) will be kept at bay…but even then, I wouldn’t vote for someone who sold their soul to the devil in the first place.
