2020 ELECTION/2024 ELECTION/CHRIS CHRISTIE: “Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie kicked off his second presidential campaign on Tuesday [June 6, 2023] with a lacerating indictment of former President Donald Trump, calling his ally-turned-rival a ‘lonely, self-consumed mirror hog’ who, by force of personality alone, represents a threat to the republic.
At a town hall event in New Hampshire, Christie – who endorsed Trump after dropping out of the 2016 primary and then became a close adviser to the former president ahead of the 2020 election – described his past support as an error and urged Republicans to join him in rejecting the GOP front-runner.”
