Chris Christie

The Florida governor is 'Trump without the personality baggage,' as a GOP insider puts it, and his recent moves suggest he's gearing up for a presidential run.

"This is the rearview mirror stuff that the American people don't care about when they're paying $5 a gallon for gas," the former governor said Sunday.

The former governor dismissed the idea that Trump makes endorsements based on political analysis as "sophistry."

The former governor said Sunday that if the GOP doesn't "nominate folks who can appeal to the general electorate then all this momentum will be stunted."

The former New Jersey governor, who was once a dedicated ally to the former president, has been rumored to run for president in 2024.

Nikki Haley argued on Sunday that Russia's invasion of Ukraine "never would have happened" if Trump was still president.

"Yeah, that's 'genius' and 'very savvy' alright," Christie said of Trump's praise for Putin's decision to invade. "No walking that back. History is watching."

The former president was responding to a "This Week" panel who said that Trump's backing "doesn't do much to help" candidates.

The former governor said on Sunday the former president "has shown that what he cares about the most is himself."

"It's beneath the office that he held," the former Republican governor said about the former president on Sunday.

GOP mainstreamers fear Trump's obsession with the 2020 election and brash style will hurt the party in the midterms—and in 2024 as well.

It "was a driven-from-the-top process executed by C-team players. And that's why it looks like a Keystone Cops operation," he said Sunday.

The former Republican governor of New Jersey said he's "not ready to retire."

Brian Aitken, who spent years spent speaking out for gun rights, was arrested in Telluride, Colorado last week.

Chris Christie has said it is time to get to work on defeating Joe Biden and Democrats and stop looking at the past and focus on the 2024 election.

In this daily series, Newsweek explores the steps that led to the January 6 Capitol Riot.

Fox chairman Rupert Murdoch has called on conservatives to focus on the future, not the past—echoing comments made by Chris Christie and Mitch McConnell.

The former New Jersey governor was grilled on why his book about truth deniers and conspiracy theorists didn't take on Fox News during an appearance on MSNBC.

Both Christie and Trump have been teasing 2024 presidential runs and the former New Jersey governor criticized Trump for losing in 2020 to President Joe Biden.

Christie suggested to his Republican colleagues that they didn't need to secure Trump's approval in order to win over voters.

"I don't know that he's going to run. I don't know whether I'm going to run," Chris Christie said about a possible primary against Donald Trump.

The former New Jersey governor said he wanted to give Trump advice on what to do to stop the violence at the U.S. Capitol.

The former New Jersey governor faced Trump's wrath on Monday for suggesting Republicans should move past the loss to Biden.

The former New Jersey governor does not think Trump can be a "positive force" for Republicans if he doesn't move past the 2020 election.

Former President Donald Trump said Christie had been "absolutely massacred" by his comments on the 2020 election.

"Everybody remembers that Chris left New Jersey with a less than 9% approval rating—a record low, and they didn't want to hear this from him!" Trump said.

The former New Jersey governor also called Glenn Youngkin's recent gubernatorial election win in Virginia "the start of a new era" for Republicans.

There's a long time between now and the 2024 election season, but not too early for potential candidates and verbal jousting between parties.

"We need to be the party that embraces the truth, even when it's painful," Christie said. "Unacceptable grievances and conspiracy theories always die hard,"

The tour would have seen the former Republican president visit hospitals and manufacturing plants across the USA, and Joe Biden "wouldn't know what to do."
