Christie criticizes Trump’s 2024 bid as a ‘vanity’ move.

Former Gov. Chris Christie Slams Trump’s “Vanity Exercise”

Christie Warns Against Redo of 2020 Election

Former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) has publicly turned on former President Donald Trump, denouncing his “vanity exercise” and warning the Republican Party against nominating him as their standard bearer. Speaking on 77 WABC, Christie urged his fellow Republicans to take on Trump more directly, stating that “the only way to beat the front-runner is to take the front-runner on directly.”

Christie is actively considering a 2024 run and has indicated that a decision will come within the next two weeks. He has held a handful of town halls in New Hampshire as he tests the waters for a presidential run.

Christie Takes Swipes at DeSantis

Christie has also taken digs at Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), widely regarded as the second-place GOP contender in the 2024 arena. DeSantis has not yet declared his plans, but is expected to do so within the coming days. If DeSantis gets in, his first task will be stopping the polling slide.

Christie Concerned About Trump-Biden Rematch

Christie has expressed concern that the country is heading towards a Trump-Biden rematch, which he believes is bad for the Republican Party. A recent Washington Post-ABC poll found that Trump tops Biden 44% to 38% when voters are asked whom they prefer for president. Most polls have generally shown Trump running tightly with Biden or trailing slightly.

Christie’s Call to Action

• Christie urges fellow Republicans to take on Trump more directly
• Warns against nominating Trump as the standard bearer
• Actively considering a 2024 run
• Takes swipes at Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL)
• Expresses concern about a Trump-Biden rematch

Christie’s call to action is clear: the Republican Party needs to take on Trump more directly and avoid a Trump-Biden rematch. As he considers a 2024 run, Christie is urging his fellow Republicans to step up and lead the party in a new direction.
