2024 ELECTION/CHRIS CHRISTIE: “Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie continued to pound former President Donald Trump throughout the fourth Republican presidential primary debate. And he had hard words for his fellow candidates for not doing the same.
Pointing to the clock early in the debate, Christie noted that 17 minutes had passed without mention of Trump, the undisputed GOP frontrunner.
‘We’ve had these three acting as if the race is between the four of us,’ he told the NewsNation moderators. ‘The fifth guy who doesn’t have the guts to show up and stand here, he’s the one who is … way ahead in the polls.’“
