Chris Christie probably has better career moves than picking fights with Trump, considering how that's gone for him in the past
Photo: Bloomberg via Getty Images Former New Jersey Governor and traffic exacerbation enthusiast Chris Christie hasn’t been afraid of conflict in the past, whether that’s getting in the face of a heckler at a baseball game or passive aggressively enjoying an entire beach amid a state government shutdown. As he enters the groundwork stage of a potential 2024 run, he has made a poor, but perhaps inevitable, choice for his next opponent: Donald Trump.
It began at a donor event last Saturday when Christie cited Glenn Youngkin’s win in Virginia and Jack Ciattarelli’s closer-than-expected finish in New Jersey as evidence that the Republican Party needs to move beyond false allegations of 2020 election fraud and toward a message “that doesn’t hurt their ears.
Rather than move on and build his 2024 momentum slowly, Christie is going head on against the truth-denying, conspiracy-endorsing party leader — as he promotes a campaign book with a subtitle condemning “truth deniers” and “conspiracy theorists.” In an interview with Axios airing on Sunday, Christie also noted that during his gubernatorial reelection in 2013, he got 60 percent of the vote. But Trump? “When he ran for reelection, he lost to Joe Biden,” Christie said.
It’s probably unwise for Christie to go head to head with a figure who had an 86 percent approval rating last month among Republican voters. But it’s especially short-sighted to do so with Trump, who tends to win political squabbles with Christie and other GOP pols at his level.
The results of last week’s election did not provide a lucid answer to the question of GOP performance post-Trump, considering the ex-president did his best to insert himself everywhere he could with endorsements. But that may be a moot point beyond the midterms, as a large plurality of Republican voters want him to run in 2024.
