NEW JERSEY'S FORMER GOVERNOR EYEING RUN FOR PRESIDENT IN 2024
" Friends Close To Christie, Say He's Mulling The Possibility Of Running For President, In 2024."
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie may be eyeing a potential run for the White House in 2024, sources close to Christie announced Wednesday April 21st.
Although Christie hasn't spoken publicly about his future White House ambitions, he did tell radio host Hugh Hewitt he wouldn't rule out running against former President Donald Trump in a primary again, reported by the New York Post.
Christie, who quickly withdrew from the 2016 primary race, told friends that he would be the only republican in the 2024 primaries with executive experience who has run a presidential campaign before.
Christie will have a tough fight ahead, in order to win the republican nomination. Fox News reported on Monday that Trump is "very seriously" considering another presidential bid in 2024. But if he decides against that, Christie will face strong possible republican front runners. Besides Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, such others include former Vice-President Mike Pence, Senators, Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Rick Scott, and Tom Cotton, Governor Kristie Noem of South Dakoda, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.
Christie was criticized for endorsing and supporting Trump during the 2016 presidential race, but later Christie sharply criticized Trump's election fraud claims as an "absurdity." Further calling Trump's legal team, "A National embarrassment . "
As Governor, from the start Christie and his administration came under harsh criticism for policies he put in place. Further taking action against New Jersey's teacher's union and calling New Jersey's Police union president a " pension pig ."
Many of us forget that before Christie was elected Governor, as United States Attorney for New Jersey. He built a very impressive resume earning him a reputation for being tough on corruption. Christie prosecuted more than 130 public officials for corruption and various other high profile cases. Including former President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner's father Charles Kushner.
Christie's success in putting New Jersey's addiction problem front and center was paramount. Christie, as much perhaps as any single politician in the nation, has helped put a spotlight on the severity of the drug addiction problem as well as the need to treated it like a disease rather than a crime.
Christie should also be credit with reducing some taxes in New Jersey as well as reining in democrats excesses and holding the line on Public Employee spending contracts.
No matter how you may view the current state of our nation today. Christie with his no nonsense stance he took with New Jersey's politicians maybe what we need. With his charisma and refined combativeness, this may allow him to take on President Biden in the 2024 run for The White House.
