Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie may be planning a 2024 presidential run
Chris Christie, who unsuccessfully ran for president in the 2016 primaries and lost to Donald Trump, has yet to comment on the rumors directly, other than telling radio host Hugh Hewitt that 'he's not ruling it out.' However, according to Axios, Christie has reportedly told friends that 'he'd be the only person in the 2024 field with executive experience who has run a presidential race before,' and believes that could be the edge he needs to beat out Donald Trump if he decides to run again.
One source shared with the outlet, 'Christie could run on a reputation for toughness that appeals to Trump's base minus the former president's recklessness.'
How Is Chris Christie Doing
Social media users have mixed reactions about a possible 2024 presidential run for Christie, with one Twitter user writing, 'Chris Christie's 2016 campaign for president was a complete flop. He made Marco Rubio's campaign almost seem successful. I know Christie thinks that he can best triangulate between Donald Trump and the new GOP, but he can't. His best moment to run was in 2012. He missed out.'
Is Chris Christie Still In The Hospital
Another Twitter user added, 'Do I hear Chris Christie is considering running for President against the Mental-case of Mar-a-Lago? Maybe we could actually have a sane Republican running, not a Trump-clone, like Cruz, Hawley or Pompeo. Even Nikki is somewhere in between sane & Trump Crazy.'
