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.”

All these GOPe’s dressing up as relevant for Halloween is so cute.
Please clap.
consider away, fat man ... with Hogan as your VP, ya’ll would make quite a heavy weight team ...
I don’t think he’s delusional; it is a fundraising opportunity which will let him funnel money to friends for a time.
It is a shame; he was a good governor here in NJ, with all the right enemies.
After destroying the Republican Party in New Jersey, it follows that he would want to destroy it nationally.
I can’t figure out why he and/or his handlers would waste the money and effort on this.
The one thing it does, it keeps lardass in the news cycle for another couple years. That’s all he can hope to accomplish, at this point.
Christie/Abrams2024...we carry a lot of weight in D.C.
Bosn' mate of the watch, stand by to launch all whale boats!!!
He can’t even run to the mailbox.
Will all due ‘respect’, fat ass, no one wants a corpulent backstabber for their President.
I’ve never missed a November election since I was first eligible to vote. But if,by chance,he’s the nominee in ‘24 I’ll stay home.
He’ll do whatever Deep State tells him to do.
I’ve seen rhinos...in the wild. Christie very closely resembles the ones I’ve seen.
Run? From what I see, Christie may be able to manage a semi quick waddle, down a steep incline. Beyond that, meh.
Trump or DeSantis need people to run against. It helps them clarify issues and helps the voters see the issues.
Great! It will give the anti-Trumpers a place to waist their money because he doesn’t stand a snowballs chance.
Sorry Chris; but you are a loser.
The globalist strategy is to tie Trump up in legal jeopardy six ways to Sunday and pour millions into negative MAGA propaganda and then flood the presidential republican primary with tons ofn candidates to split the vote.
Hide and watch
“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…”
“We”.
This is a s why you’re a tone deaf loser, Chrissy, Trump was talking about AMERICA and everyone in it and you’re talking about a bunch of grifting politicians.
Maybe Christie can claim he is really a “woman” in keeping with current day insanity...then appear in female clothing and be the coveted “First Female President.”
That’s the only way that fat @ss will get anywhere.
