Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said in an interview Sunday thatDonald Trump could run for president again. presumed to be exactly equal.
A former governor and Trump's adviser to his 2016 campaign, he never took part in Trump's chaotic White House or broader administration. He remained a great supporter of the president and his policies until January 6th. He has since criticized Trump, accusing him of causing deadly riots that have engulfed Congress.
On Sunday, he spoke to ABC's This Week and speculated that Donald Trump's chances of missing the 2024 election cycle are the same as his chances of running again.
“Am I convinced that Donald Trump will run for president? I think it's a shot," said Christie.
The remark hinted that the former president plans another bid at most, if not all, campaign-style rallies. It comes out with it. Trump also echoed the trend in his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas over the weekend.
Christie went on to say that the former president had made very different calculations than he did before he ran for president in 2016. Trump was treated as a no-nonsense candidate by much of the mainstream and conservative media during his 2016 campaign before winning the Republican nomination and finally defeating Hillary Clinton in the general election. rice field.
According to Mr. Christie, the 45th president will not allow any candidacy he launches to run for the White House in 2024 to be overtly criticized by the mainstream media and some of his own Republican Party. I know I will face hostility. US Senate candidates in particular will lose to Democrats in November.
"Whatever he decides to do, he's going to take it into account, because he's not stupid," argued Mr. Christie.
Trump headlined CPAC last weekend and was recently photographed with far-right forces like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson as he continues his efforts to remain the Republican party's de facto leader. . While the 2022 primary season has suffered some setbacks, particularly in the Georgia gubernatorial primary, the former president's elected supporters have lost ground in many, including key Senate elections in Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. primaries, demonstrating superiority over other Republican figures like Mike Pence. Or Ted Cruz, who endorsed a rival for hand-picked candidates.
However, these candidates have become somewhat of a sticky issue for Republicans nationwide, as Democrats lead the opposition in his three Senate races above. Mr. Trump's loyal allies appear to have political baggage that completely jeopardizes the chances of a Republican retake of the Senate in January.
