Chris Christie wants to run in the US election – Donald Trump immediately responded
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie wants to be the Republican presidential nominee. He was once considered a confidant of Donald Trump and later criticized the former president. Accordingly, his reaction to this announcement was mixed.
DHe has entered the race for the White House against Republican Chris Christie. The former governor of New Jersey announced his bid for the Republican presidential nomination on Tuesday. “I want your support,” Christie told an audience in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Christie previously wanted to be his party’s presidential candidate in 2016, but withdrew after poor results in the primaries. Christie is considered a former confidant of former President Donald Trump. However, there was a split in 2020 when he refused to recognize Joe Biden’s victory.
Christie, 60, took a direct hit at the former president in his speech: “Donald Trump has divided us further and made us smaller every day by playing one group against another.” Trump is obsessed with mirrors and never makes a mistake. , always blames someone else for mishaps and always wants to take credit for everything that goes well, Christie said. Trump commented on his Twitter alternative Truth Social that Christie’s speech was “boring” — hard to bear.
Trump is ahead in internal polls
Christie also criticized candidates for the nomination who “say we shouldn’t care about what’s going on in Ukraine.” “Russia wants to bring back a free and freedom-loving country under its thumb,” those politicians said, telling Americans not to worry, as Christie recounted American history in his speech.
Trump had already announced last November that he would seek re-election in 2024. Meanwhile, the field of Republican candidates has grown significantly. Several others have announced their candidacies in recent weeks, including former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Trump’s former deputy Mike Pence has also submitted the necessary documents – his official announcement is expected this Wednesday. Trump is ahead in internal polls.
