Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Sunday said former President Trump isn’t “what he used to be” after the former president touted his 2024 campaign in remarks to the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) the day before. “Look, he is the front-runner. There’s no doubt, he’s essentially an incumbent president running for renomination — not reelection, but renomination — and so of course, he’s the front-runner right now and ahead in the polls. But there are lots of indicators here, that he’s not what he used to be,” Christie said on ABC’s “This Week.”

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that Republicans who heckled President Joe Biden during the State of the Union address made a “big mistake.” Anchor George Stephanopoulos asked, “The Republican House members, at least some of them, did seem to take the bait on Tuesday night. How big of a mistake was that?” Christie said, “Big mistake. Look, you don’t want to rise to the bait, and they did. A number of them did. It was a big mistake.”
