A new biography of Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, details a tense exchange with former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in 2016 after the latter endorsed Donald Trump.
Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, privately lambasted Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie after his 2016 endorsement of former President Donald Trump, according to a new biography of Romney released Tuesday. In an early 2016 email described as 'curt,' Romney told Christie that he was 'stunned' the latter had endorsed Trump, according to the biography 'Romney: A Reckoning,' an advance copy of which was shared with Fox News Digital.
Meanwhile, Christie launched a second bid for president in June and has spent a considerable amount of effort attacking Trump. 'He’s completely full of cr--, and he makes it up as he goes along,' Christie said of Trump last week. The former New Jersey governor has also called Trump 'Donald Duck' for avoiding the first two Republican debates of the 2024 election cycle.
Weeks later, Romney dined with Trump and told reporters afterward that Trump's actions following the election gave him 'increasing hope that President-elect Trump is the very man who can lead us to' a better future. Romney was ultimately not selected for a Cabinet position following the meetings, something he later reflected was a blessing in disguise. Romney and Christie didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
