Chris Christie swipes Nikki Haley for 'deferring' to Trump on potential 2024 run: Shows 'weakness, indecision'

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie threw some shade at former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley over remarks she made about whether or not she would run for president in 2024.

Last month, Haley was asked if she would support former President Trump if he threw his hat in the ring, which she said "yes," but also made clear that she would not launch a GOP primary bid against him.

"I would not run if President Trump ran and I would talk to him about it," Haley told the Associated Press. "That’s something that we will have a conversation about at some point, if that decision is something that has to be made. But yeah, I would, absolutely."

She went on to praise the "working relationship" she had with Trump while serving as UN ambassador.

However, during his appearance on Tuesday's installment of the "Ruthless" podcast, Christie took an indirect jab at Haley when asked about his own 2024 prospects.

"After 2022 is over, we'll make a decision about whether we're going to run or not, but I certainly won't preclude it and I'm also not going to be one of these people who's gonna say, ‘Well, I’ll wait to see what President Trump is gonna do,'" Christie said. "I'm not going to defer to anyone. If I decide that it's what I want to do and I think I'm the best option for the Republican Party and for the country."

He continued, If you're saying you're deferring to someone, that's a real sign of both weakness and indecision and we've already got that in the White House."

What third dimension dream world does Christie live in? I would get more votes for President than he would.
