Allies of former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie reportedly launched a super PAC to support his likely run for the presidency.
The New York Times, citing unnamed sources, reported Monday that Christie's 2024 campaign kickoff is expected in the next two weeks.
The political action committee, called Tell It Like It Is, will be led by Brian Jones, an aide who advised Sen. John McCain's presidential bid in 2008 and Mitt Romney's in 2012.
In a statement to the Times, Jones said Christie "is willing to confront the hard truths that currently threaten the future of the Republican Party. Now more than ever we need leaders that have the courage to say not what we want to hear but what we need to hear."
Christie faces an uphill battle.
A May 24 CNN poll shows former President Donald Trump as the top White House choice of 53% of primary voters, followed by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantisat 26%. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and former Vice President Mike Pence received 6%. Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., and Christie got 2%.

Christie faces an uphill battle.
That may cause him serious problems, just sayin’.
Christie is the Lizzo of establishment Republican politics - but with less talent.
That may cause him serious problems, just sayin’.
Think Sisyphus.
“an aide who advised Sen. John McCain’s presidential bid in 2008 and Mitt Romney’s in 2012”
and this D-Bag is leading the Christie campaign because of what accomplishment?
Lost Bigly two times -
LOL-I mean, you’re so insensitive.
Christie eats super pack man support.🤣
Hmmmmm! Didn’t know Krispy Kreme had a PAC.
Isn’t it a bit of a stretch to say Christie is going to actually run anywhere?
Peach
Christie needs to lighten up.......................
That pac support is the name of the game...Not to win the presidency, to create a slush fund to spread around to his friends and family.
Assuming there is anything leftover from the restaurant tabs.
If he did run it would measure 5.0 on the Richter Scale.
In a statement to the Times, Jones said Christie "is willing to confront the hard truths that currently threaten the future of the Republican Party. Now more than ever we need leaders that have the courage to say not what we want to hear but what we need to hear."
And what are those things? That we can lose 40 pounds on the Krispie Kreme diet?
Oh goodie! We get to trade president ice cream for president donut!
Do these “friends of Christie” have plenty of their own dough to throw at his doomed presidential run or is it darker Soros type money being given as payback to Christie for being willing to bash Trump 24/7 as a “Republican” and theoretically sow discord among the GOP who lean Trump?
So in other words, its a far left group funding him so he will attack the right.
Crazy Liz II
That mystic clarion call for a Howard Taft-like candidate is being sounded throughout the land!
Chris Christie answers!
