Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie said during an interview on Sunday that Joe Biden would lose the general election to any Republican candidate other than Donald Trump.
Christie made the remarks during a roundtable discussion on ABC News’ “This Week” on how new polling has shown that the 34-count felony indictment returned by a Manhattan grand jury last week is starting to hurt Trump’s poll numbers after seeing an initial boost.
“No matter what he says and his people say, being indicted is not good for political candidate,” Christie said. “Like that’s just — you know, he can get short-term bump among certain parts of our own party. But in the end, it’s not good to be indicted.”
“Being indicted, the public does still look at that and say that’s not what should be happening to a national leader,” he said.
Christie said that Trump’s endorsements in the 2022 midterms hurt the Republican Party and predicted they will come back to haunt him in the 2024 election.
“The Donald Trump endorsements and the awful candidates, whether it was Kari Lake or Herschel Walker or Tim Michels in Wisconsin or Mastriano in Pennsylvania,” he said. “Those were the candidates that lost and they were Donald Trump’s candidates.”
“I think Donald Trump is the only Republican [Biden] can beat,” Christie later added. “I don’t think he can beat any other Republican who gets nominated.”
The Democrat primary field is already growing. Self-help guru Marianne Williamson announced her plan to challenge President Biden last month and last week Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revealed he plans to formally announce his campaign at an event in Boston later this month.
A number of Republicans have already announced their candidacy for the 2024 presidential nomination. Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley and tech mogul Vivek Ramaswamy jumped into the race in February. Former President Donald Trump is also making this third run for the White House. Last week, former Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson became the latest Republican to enter the contest.
Chris Christie is still pissed off, beyond reasonable standards, because Trump did not make him Attorney General or a U S Supreme Court justice. He is still wanting pay back against Trump. Used to like Christie but he just shows how corrupt his stndards are as is usual in NJ. Does anything he even says have anybody listening? If Trump runs against Joe Biden, the patriarch of the Biden Crime Syndicate, he will crush Biden and that looser, unless she provides sexual favors for supporters, Kamala (KNEES) Harris Trump will excoriate them. Christie should give it up he is just another corrupt exNJ pol.
christie is a lame, he hates trump and I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could throw his fat arse.
Oh, go order a pizza fat boy.
The fat ass is still pissed Trump beat him out!
Christie is a fat fucking commie. It’s the exact opposite. They know Trump will beat the fuck outta Biden in 2024.
This is the only way Christie has to get in the news – disparaging Trump. Other than that, no one would at any attention to him.
Lots of luck . Whole world knows Biden is complicit
That is why USA is in such bad shape .
Christi is so ate up with hate. He should join the democrats .
Hmm – is crispy trying to out rino kasich? That is just my perception of course……………
I guess the point he is attempting is that if it is Trump, then the election will be yes or no on Trump, and that is iffy. anyone else, it will be yes or no on Biden, and that is a solid NO.
Christie will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.
Not competent enough to carry Trump’s jock strap.
