As former President Donald Trump leads the rest of the 2024 GOP field, Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie is striving to position himself as a formidable contender who is “prepared for the long run.”
“As the only campaign taking Trump on directly, we plan to break last. And by running… lean efficiently now, Christie will have the resources necessary to seize the opportunity when it arrives,” stated a new presentation outlining Christie’s strategy to stay in the race.
The tactics employed by other contenders, which Christie’s team characterized as “get to [Trump’s] right, run as [his] clone, ignore him, try to please everyone,” have proven ineffective, according to the presentation.
“The goal is to outlast,” read another slide from Christie’s team.
The slideshow was originally made public by Politico, and Christie’s team confirmed to The Hill that it was shared with the American Opportunity Alliance in recent weeks.
The presentation highlighted how Christie’s campaign has been seeking to raise money while minimizing its “burn rate.”
Christie’s campaign revenues for the most recent fundraising quarter were around $3.8 million, trailing far behind the front-runner, Trump, and other GOP contenders, including former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley and Florida governor Ron DeSantis.
“Trump’s conduct has proven that he is unfit to be president again. Chris Christie is the only one willing to make that case,” emphasized the presentation. “While every other candidate is running for second place (or a spot in Trump’s cabinet), Christie is running to win by drawing a clear contrast.”
Christie has been a vocal critic of the former GOP president. He has also labeled Trump’s lead in the race as “fatally flawed,” predicting that the 45th president would be found guilty in one of his legal disputes.
The former New Jersey governor explicitly criticized Trump for skipping the debate with his rivals during the second GOP presidential debate in September. He has also declared himself eligible for next week’s third debate in Miami.
The most recent polling averages from FiveThirtyEight show Christie with 2.9 percent of the vote in the Republican primary, trailing Haley with 7.6 percent and DeSantis with 12.8 percent.

What are the key aspects of Christie’s campaign strategy, especially regarding fundraising and expenditure management?
As the 2024 GOP field begins to take shape, former President Donald Trump has emerged as the frontrunner. However, Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie is determined to position himself as a formidable contender who is “prepared for the long run.”
In a recent presentation outlining Christie’s strategy, his campaign stated, “As the only campaign taking Trump on directly, we plan to break last. And by running lean efficiently now, Christie will have the resources necessary to seize the opportunity when it arrives.” This approach presents a stark contrast to the tactics employed by other contenders, which Christie’s team characterizes as “get to Trump’s right, run as his clone, ignore him, try to please everyone,” which they claim have proven ineffective.
The goal of Christie’s campaign is to outlast the competition, as highlighted in another slide from the presentation. This slideshow, initially made public by Politico, was also shared with the American Opportunity Alliance in recent weeks, according to Christie’s team.
One of the key aspects of Christie’s strategy is raising money while minimizing the campaign’s ”burn rate.” However, his campaign revenue for the most recent fundraising quarter was around $3.8 million, significantly behind Trump and other GOP contenders like Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis.
Christie’s campaign is distinct in its mission to make the case that Trump is unfit to be president once again. The presentation emphasized that while every other candidate is running for second place or a spot in Trump’s cabinet, Christie is running to win by drawing a clear contrast.
Christie has been an outspoken critic of the former GOP president, labeling Trump’s lead in the race as “fatally flawed” and predicting that he would be found guilty in one of his legal disputes. He has also criticized Trump for skipping the second GOP presidential debate and has declared himself eligible for the upcoming third debate in Miami.
Despite facing significant challenges, Chris Christie is determined to establish himself as a strong contender in the 2024 GOP field. His strategy of taking on Trump directly and running a lean campaign while emphasizing a clear contrast with the former president sets him apart from the competition. Time will tell if Christie’s approach proves successful and if he can secure the nomination for the Republican Party in the race for the White House.
