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.”

This man's lack of self awareness is indicative of how swamp critters see themselves.
Who in their right mind would give Christie 1 penny for a primary run? He has less than zero change of being the republican candidate for President.
We don’t want or need a fat clown for president. Tubby can take his tough guy act and stick it up his fat ass.
I really think “31 Flavors Christie” would do worse than Yeb.
Early Onset Dementia?
Not a chance in hell.
I've got a better chance than chrispy creme.
He's got a better chance of becoming the "Commissioner of Bridge Closings" from NJ to NYC, than getting the gop nod in 2024.
Whale on the beach! Whale on the beach!
This pig ought to be running on the treadmill instead of running for office.
Fat, delusional, and stupid is no way to go through life, Krispy Kreme.
I guess there IS no such thing as bad press.
Only in politics is getting humiliated repeatedly in the most public way until fully vanquished a resume’ enhancer.
Taxpayers should not have to pay for special high-capacity furniture. That, and he’s not the right guy to fight off the administrative/deep state and the rabid communist left.
Cruz is different from Pence and Christie. Both Pence and Christie are insiders, who worked the system throughout their political careers. Cruz, like Trump, was an outsider, he took on the annointed GOP candidate, then Lt. Governor David Dewherst, and beat him in a run off.
Christie and Pence, in different ways, do not seem to have the political insight to understand the GOP electorate does not want his brand of insider anymore.
Norm should go back to the bar and have a beer. Cheers!
Bwahahaha.......!!!
He doesn’t have a chance but it gives him the opportunity to run his fat mouth.
You Fat Slob
No one’s gonna vote for your fatass
Liz Chaney and Mitt Romney will be strong contenders for THAT vote!
“THAT” vote, of course, being the Never Trump vote!
I wouldn’t bet against your position.
Fat Chance Christie. Another delusional man.
