Chris Christie wouldn’t even have imagined calling former President Donald Trump out by name when he forewarned viewers at the Ronald Regan Library not to let “a few zealots” handle the Republican Party.
Chris Christie is advancing for the White House, but now there is no accommodating for the former New Jersey governor with eyes on the White House.
Christie said, “This guy is a loser. He can’t win. He’s won once, and everything he’s done since then is lose.” in a current interview with N.J. Advance Media.
Christie is the first major Republican politician who supported Donald Trump in the year 2016 and stayed in the former president’s circle till he refused to accept his loss that ended up with the Jan.6 revolt; he is making his early steps for a presidential race.
Job is openly attacking Donald Trump as he is an easy target amid some Republicans who condemn the former president for GOP primary election losses and Trump’s big and sudden declaration of a third White House bid perched with a smack.
Christie is doing that with zest. He also said, “We’re going to win so much, you’re going to be sick and tired of winning.” making fun of Trump by satirizing his voice from a speech that Donald gave back in 2016. Christie said that he was tired of losing. They had got to alter course.
Hundreds of GOP donors appreciate Christie for condemning Trump at a Republican Governors Association conference in Orlando, Florida, nearly 170 miles away from Mara Lago. He bragged that people thanked him all day and also the next day for his words.
Christie said about Trump-supported candidates, “The voters were sending us very clear messages in many parts of the country. No thanks. There’s no question he picked and the party nominated some underperforming candidates saying really ridiculous things, and the public didn’t accept it.”
After Trump’s announcement, Christie said that he is completely unsure what brought the former president’s timing, but he also thinks “it’s a defensive maneuver. … He could feel it slipping from him, and he wants to go out there and try to stop.”
For the earlier New Jersey governor, Trump’s election day defeat could only increase his own long-shot venture to run for the Presidential election again. Christie said he was not near to making such a declaration. When Christie was asked about it, he said he had six months to figure it out. He would decide by the second quarter of 2023.
Christie’s confidant Bill Palatucci asserts, “it’s premature to talk about 2024,” saying nothing has changed about Christie’s daily schedule that indicates a run is imminent.
Palatucci said, “There is a growing group that is anybody but Trump. “A year ago, that was a very small group, and people were very reluctant to stick their head up and say I’m part of the group, and now you’re seeing that as a major growing chorus.”
Christie’s 2016 Presidential campaign highlight was ruining U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio in a discussion where he was then completely in the lower rank of presidential wannabes.
The top rank of the probable challenge is populated by big well-known name politicians, including Trump’s new target, Ron DeSantis, Florida’s new governor and former vice president of the USA, Mike Pence. Christie didn’t say anything about Ron DeSantis, but last month he noted that the Florida governor wanted federal help amid Hurricane Ian.
Nevertheless, Christie has a new and big platform, coating the airwaves as an ABC analyst thrusting the primary losses in Trump’s face just as the only winning well-known senate candidate whom Trump supported in the primary election. JD Vance delivered a speech in Ohio but didn’t mention Trump’s name in his victory speech.
As he was Trump’s early supporter, Christie put his chips on moving past Trump soon after he turned over on refusing that he lost the election.
