Chris Christie will soon \u200bmake &#8220;a quick calculation&#8221; and withdraw from the 2024 presidential race. Sununu believes \u2062Christie will do so in order to consolidate \u2063support for an alternative candidate to Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;He knows\u200d his voters who want to see Trump\u200c defeated are\u200c all\u2062 coming\u200d over to Nikki Haley,&#8221; \u200dSununu said on CNN&#8217;s \u2064State of \u200cthe Union. &#8220;In fact, the only person who wants Chris Christie to stay in the race is Donald Trump \u2014 think \u2062about the irony of that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>The Political Sex Scandals\u2063 That \u2062Rocked \u200bWashington \u2062in 2023<\/h3>\n<p>Sununu, while \u2062acknowledging his friendship with Christie, bluntly states that Christie&#8217;s campaign is going \u200dnowhere. According to Sununu, Christie has reached his maximum level of support and will not be able to gather enough votes in any state, including\u200d his focused state of New Hampshire.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;If Chris is true \u200cto his \u2062message about defeating\u2064 Trump, he\u2019ll \u2064understand \u200dthat the voters are coming [to Nikki Haley];\u2062 I think he\u2019s going to make the right decision eventually,&#8221; Sununu continued.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sununu \u200calso warns that \u200bif Christie doesn&#8217;t suspend his \u2063campaign before the primary contests, he could\u2062 harm Nikki Haley&#8217;s chances against Trump in what is expected to be a tough competition.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Sununu publicly endorsed Haley, the former U.N. ambassador.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I think\u200c he\u2019s a smart\u200c guy. &#8230; He doesn\u2019t want to go forward,\u200c upsetting all the anti-Trump people too because he overstayed his \u200bwelcome and\u2064 put his ego first,&#8221;\u200d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Sununu further predicts that Christie \u2063will ultimately endorse Haley, but \u200cemphasizes that it is Christie&#8217;s decision to make.<\/p>\n<p>In\u200b response to\u200d Sununu&#8217;s comments, a spokesperson for Christie stated, &#8220;The events of the last few days \u2062fully solidifies the point that Christie has been making for six months. That the\u200d truth matters, and if you can&#8217;t answer the\u200c easy questions, you can&#8217;t fix the big problems.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Christie&#8217;s campaign also points to an ad released last\u2062 week, in\u200b which Christie asserts that he is the only candidate\u200b willing to call out Trump.<\/p>\n<p>In a December poll from the Saint Anselm College Survey Center, Trump still leads in New Hampshire with 44%,\u2064 but \u200bHaley has \u2062risen \u2062to 30%, closing the gap to 14 points. Christie only garnered 12% support, which is a high for \u200bhis campaign but still insufficient to compete \u200dagainst Haley or Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding national and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/2024-hopeful-tim-scott-announces-6-1-million-fundraising-haul-in-second-quarter\/\" title=\"Tim Scott, a 2024 hopeful, raises .1 million in Q2.\">early state surveys<\/a>, Christie&#8217;s support remains in the single digits.<\/p>\n<p>The first nominating contest will \u200boccur on Jan. 15 in Iowa, \u2062followed by the \u200bNew Hampshire primary on Jan.\u2062 23.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">CLICK\u2064 HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> According to Sununu,\u2062 what role do\u200d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-political-sex-scandals-that-rocked-washington-in-2023\/\" title=\"2023: Washington shaken by political sex scandals\">political sex scandals<\/a> of 2023 play in Christie&#8217;s expected withdrawal from the race?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u2063 To secure the party nomination.

Despite his controversial tenure \u2062as president, Trump remains a powerful force within the Republican party, with a dedicated base of supporters.\u200d Sununu&#8217;s comment about \u2062the irony \u2063of \u2062Trump \u200dwanting Christie to \u200cstay in \u2063the race reflects the shifting dynamics and alliances within the party.<\/p>\n<p>As the 2024\u200b presidential race continues \u2063to\u2063 take \u2063shape, predictions and speculation about potential candidates and their chances \u2063of \u200dsuccess are\u2062 inevitable. Sununu&#8217;s confident pronouncement about\u200b Christie&#8217;s withdrawal adds another layer of intrigue \u2063and speculation \u2063to the already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/right-wing-coalition-forms-new-govt-in-italy\/\" title=\"Right-wing coalition forms new govt. in Italy\">complex political landscape<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While it remains to be seen whether Sununu&#8217;s prediction will come\u200b true, his insights offer valuable perspectives on the political strategies and calculations that candidates must make. As\u200b the race heats up and\u200b candidates\u200d jockey for position, time\u2063 will tell\u2062 whether Christie, Trump, Haley, or another candidate will emerge as the frontrunner for the Republican party&#8217;s nomination.<\/p>\n<p>In\u200c conclusion, Gov. \u2062Chris\u2063 Sununu&#8217;s prediction that Chris Christie \u2062will \u200bdrop out of the 2024 presidential race\u2062 in order to consolidate support for an alternative candidate is a bold assertion. Sununu&#8217;s argument, based \u200don the\u200c fallout from \u200bpolitical\u200b sex scandals and the shifting\u200c dynamics within the\u200b Republican party, adds an interesting perspective to the\u2064 ongoing discussions about the \u200b2024 presidential race.
