Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is thinking about another presidential run in 2024, putting him in a head-to-head competition with Donald Trump for the Republican nomination.
After appearing on “Real Time” Friday night, he joined the show’s host Bill Maher, CNN anchor
Chris Wallace and BBC News correspondent Katty Kay for an “Overtime” talk in which viewers submit questions. The question posed Christie: It’s rumored you’re considering another presidential run in 2024. Is there any truth to that?
“Sure,” Christie said without the slightest hesitation. His answer was so quick that Maher said, “Oh, I love that. I’m telling you, this show’s rubbing off on him. He’s getting very loose.”
“Yeah. That’s me. I never had the reputation of being bold. [I’m a] wallflower type,” Christie joked. “He should. I mean, why not? Because we need a normal Republican,” Maher said. He did wonder, however, if he had a chance of stealing voters from “the Trump cult.”
“Do you think you could really take the party away from the clutches of the Trump cult as it is now?” Maher asked. “I mean, because even if it’s not Trump, it’s going to be a Trumper.”
Christie didn’t seem to be at all concerned. “I’d like to see what happens in the midterms,” he said. “I think, you know, all I heard in 2016 was that, ‘we’re going to do so much winning that we’re going to be tired of winning’ and we’re going to ask him not to win anymore. And then we lost the House and the Senate in ’18; we lost the presidency in ’20; we lost two Senate seats in Georgia in ‘20. A lot of losing.”
He added confidently, “I think they might want to go back to winning again.”

don flatter yourself there fat boy.
He could get a lot of donations from Trump haters, retire with a lot of money. Like Liz Cheney did.
I don’t think he could get 1% of the vote…..
The contest is not for the best face stuffer!
The contest is not for the best over eater!
If Christie runs Trump MUST resist making fat jokes. It would not be surprising if half the voters in the US are overweight to some degree.
Chris Cristie is the male version of Liz Cheney—a fat, stupid, moronic RINO.

I think I speak for many when i say, and I mean this in the clearest and kindest of terms: “sit down and shut up, fat man”.
Tired of republicans who are part of the problem suddenly think they’re the solution.
RLTW
You can do better.
He’s running on the meal ticket.
He just wants $$ from morons and the money from morons bidness is good!
😂😂 bring it lard a$$ bring Hogan from Maryland and see what happens
The only way he runs is if someone has a box of donuts.
I say, let him run, who cares. He went nowhere last time, he’ll be out even quicker this time.
There must be a financial incentive to do this and lose. It may be ego. I worry about a political class so out of touch.
Christie should run with Hillary.
Me too but my wife Morgan Fairchild wouldn't allow it.
That’s cute. Have another doughnut…
