The former New Jersey governor has emerged as the coup-attempting former president’s harshest critic in the 2024 Republican field.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie repeated his promise to take his 2024 primary fight directly to coup-attempting and newly indicted former Presidenton Monday, telling a national TV audience that Trump’s conduct is putting the country through unnecessary trauma.
Christie, a former U.S. attorney, said the indictment by itself is damning ― “the conduct in there is awful” ― but that he also expects that special counsel Jack Smith has much, much more information he hasn’t yet revealed. “There’s probably about a third of the evidence they have in that indictment,” he said.
They were joined Monday by South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who criticized Trump’s actions and called the allegations in the indictment serious and indicative of a reckless disregard for national security. The New Jersey Republican continued supporting and defending Trump even when Trump passed him over for running mate and then for attorney general, and then, with son-in-law Jared Kushner, summarily threw away months of Christie’s work putting together a transition team.
