Chris Christie Considers Third-Party Presidential Run
On Tuesday, the former New Jersey Governor (R-N.J.) said that he would first need to discuss the idea with his wife.
“It’d be a long conversation between me and Mary Pat, I can guarantee you that,” Christie said.
Christie believes that third-party candidates have a real chance of making a difference in the 2024 presidential election. He expressed frustration with other GOP contenders for not taking a stand against former President Donald Trump.
“We have so many people in our party who complain about Donald Trump, but none of them are willing to do the hard work that needs to be done to rid our party and our country of him,” he said.
Christie also predicted that Trump would accept the Republican nomination in July, despite potentially being a convicted felon.
“If the Senate had done its job in January of 2021 and convicted him, which, I believe he’ll be convicted by a jury of his peers for that conduct … my guess is that he will be – more likely than not – a convicted felon when he gets up on the stage at the nominating convention,” Christie stated.
“What it says to the largest debate audience we were ever going to have during the primary is his conduct is normal,” Christie explained. “Six of these eight candidates who were running against him say it’s okay, so how do you expect voters to think it’s not okay?”
Christie admitted that endorsing Trump in 2016 was a mistake and vowed not to repeat it. He believes that candidates who are not affiliated with any political party, like himself, can bring about meaningful change.
“It was the biggest mistake I’ve made in my political career, and I’m just not going to repeat that mistake for anybody,” he asserted.
