He did, and then we went to a subsequent debate, and we were all asked if we would reaffirm our support of whoever the nominee was going to be by raising our hand. There were 10 of us on the stage; nine of us raised our hands. The one who didn\u2019t was Donald Trump. And so I\u2019ll take the pledge in 2024 just as seriously as Donald Trump took the pledge in 2016,&#8221; Christie said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, Christie expressed his skepticism about the effectiveness of a signed pledge, stating that he had conveyed his concerns to Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;All my life, we never had to have Republican primary candidates take a pledge. You know, we were Republicans. And the idea is you support the Republican whether you won or lost. And you didn\u2019t have to ask somebody to sign something. It\u2019s only in the era of Donald Trump that you need somebody to sign something on a pledge. So I think it\u2019s a bad idea. I\u2019ve expressed that to Ronna Romney McDaniel personally, directly. This is not the first time she\u2019s hearing it,&#8221; Christie said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Furthermore, Christie held Trump responsible for the Republican Party&#8217;s losses in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/donald-trump-jr-outlines-future-of-maga-movement\/\" title=\"Donald Trump Jr. outlines future of MAGA movement\">2022 midterm elections<\/a>, labeling him a &#8220;three<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/musk-calls-out-2016-hillary-clinton-tweet-as-campaign-hoax\/\" title=\"Musk Calls Out 2016 Hillary Clinton Tweet As \u2018Campaign Hoax\u2019\">-time loser<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I will do what I need to do, to be up on that stage and save my party and country from going down the road of being led by three-time loser Donald Trump,&#8221; said Christie. &#8220;Loser in 2018 by losing the House; Loser in 2020 by losing the White House, and the United States Senate, and the worst midterm performance we\u2019ve seen in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chris-christie-says-he-will-take-loyalty-pledge-as-seriously-as-trump-did-in-2016\/\" title=\"Chris Christie vows to match Trump's 2016 loyalty pledge.\">long long time led<\/a> by Donald Trump-selected candidates, with Donald Trump as the main issue in most of those races.
