MANCHESTER, NH — Formers New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie slammed Donald Trump on Monday during his first trip to New Hampshire this year, when he held the door open to entering the GOP presidential primary against his former ally and signaled he had until June would decide.
In a nearly two-hour town hall at St. Anselm College’s New Hampshire Institute of Politics, Christie said Trump’s name more than 20 times, attacking and taunting the former president for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election he lost political acumen and blamed him for Republican losses at midterms 2022. Christie also presented himself as uniquely well-placed to take on Trump.

When asked about his response to Christie’s attacks, Trump spokesman Steven Cheung replied, “Who is that?”

At City Hall, Saul Shriber, 67, stood up and asked Christie why he didn’t try to take down Trump in 2016. Shriber had backed Christie in the New Hampshire primary and said he was disappointed when the governor finally backed Trump.
Christie said he owned that mistake, calling it a “strategic mistake” and saying he believed he could help Trump become a better candidate and president after supporting him. “None of us knew what kind of president he would or wouldn’t really be,” Christie said.

Christie is not going to be anyone’s opponent.
Any Republican who hopes to unseat President Trump as the presumed nominee, get picked as his running mate, or get a cabinet appointment if he wins, will have to at least pretend to be MAGA.
Outspokenly never-Trump RINOs like Christie do not have a snowballs chance in hell. They are basically auditioning for gigs in the Fox News/ABCNNBCBS echo chamber.
If you want to waste your time listening to what Chris Christie has to say, knock yourself out.
I guess he wants “Candidate for President ‘24” on his resume. Only reason I got.
“I wonder if he draws from Trump or from DeSantis.”
Christie is in the bullpen. They’ll go to him when DeSantis is taken out of the game
