Is Donald Trump about to see one of his most aggressive critics join the Republican primary circle?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reports indicate former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has taken a significant step towards announcing his 2024 White House campaign after his allies established a political action committee (PAC) to support his bid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The PAC, called Tell It Like It Is, is the latest sign that Christie plans to throw his hat in the ring in the Republican presidential primary race, the New York Times initially reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fox News<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

The former governor has already made selections for a potential presidential campaign staff as well, according to the New York Times. Mike DuHaime and Maria Comella are poised to manage his campaign if he announces, the outlet reported. Duhaime previously worked as a political strategist during Christie’s 2016 campaign, and Comella previously worked as chief of staff to disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile Brian Jones, a longtime staffer for GOP campaigns, will head up the PAC.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month, Christie indicated he planned to jump into the race by hitting at both frontrunners Trump and President Biden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“I\u2019m very concerned that what we\u2019re heading toward is a Trump-Biden rematch,” said in a radio interview. “A Trump-Biden rematch is bad for the Republican Party.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We lost the House in 2018. The Senate and the White House in 2020. We underperformed in 2022 and lost more governorships and another Senate seat. Donald Trump cannot win,” he continued.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Christie would enter a growing field of Republican 2024 candidates, including Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis; former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley; Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., and former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former Vice President Mike Pence is also expected to launch a bid for the White House in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
