Chris Christie launches 2024 presidential campaign
Alexi McCammond

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie filed paperwork on Tuesday to run for president, launching a second bid for the White House after weeks of escalating his accusations that former President Trump is a flawed GOP candidate.

Why it matters: Christie is joining a small group of 2024 Republicans who are willing to say that it's time for the party to move past Trump, but some Republican operatives say he will singularly change the primary dynamics by relentlessly taking Trump to task in a way that others won't. Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchison, who is also running, said Trump should drop out of the race altogether, citing the indictment by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Former UN Ambassador and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, Sen. Tim Scott and and venture capitalist Vivek Ramaswamy are also in the race.

Zoom in: Christie's strategy is to run "a non-traditional campaign that is highly focused on earned media, mixing it up in the news cycle and engaging Trump," an adviser told Axios' Mike Allen. Christie's campaign is so far focused on New Hampshire, the first primary state. He'll appear at a town hall on Tuesday night to launch his campaign. It will be financially supported by Steve Cohen, the billionaire and New York Mets owner who spent millions supporting Christie's unsuccessful 2016 presidential campaign. Christie says he has the "guts" and fearlessness to go against Trump, the current polling frontrunner, because "it’s not going to end nicely, no matter what." He's already called Trump a "coward" and a "puppet of Putin." Trump's losing record is one weakness that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has also been pitching to voters, as well as his quality of character and what they say is a lack of discipline.

The bottom line: After losing the 2016 primary, Christie endorsed Trump and later became the head of his transition team. Then-President Trump selected the former New Jersey governor to chair an advisory committee on opioid and drug abuse in 2017. Christie was the head of the Republican Governors Association during the 2014 cycle and helped the party take out three Democratic governors in largely blue states: Illinois, Massachusetts, and Maryland.

I could look it up, but I think Christie left the New Jersey governorship with a 13 percent approval rating.

#ChrisChristie loaded for bear at his #NewHampshire #TownHall last night. Christie's riff from 3:34:09 totally eviscerates Trump's failures. From "balancing the budget in 8 years", to Obamacare & John McCain, to lying about Ukraine, he dismantles his lies.










This is an AC360 package, but hearing the full answer above is much more fun.

Chris Christie says he’s anti-Trump. But did he score a presidential pardon for a crony?
An ethics expert says the former New Jersey governor needs to answer for his past association with the former president

Martin Pengelly in New York
Thu 8 Jun 2023 13.00 BST

A leading US ethics expert said the former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, who this week launched a presidential campaign aimed at taking down Donald Trump, owes the American public an explanation of why and how he secured a pardon for a powerful New Jersey Republican, issued on Trump’s last day in the White House.

“We just don’t know the answer to that,” Noah Bookbinder, president of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (Crew), said. “And I think we should.”

Kinda waiting for TFG to put his foot in his mouth using this story as an excuse to go after Christie but in the process admitting he was basically bribed to give a pardon.

I don’t like Christy much at all, but unless i missed something important, i don’t hold his relationship with Trump against him too much. Someone had to at least try to get Trump to act like a bit like an adult. That Christy couldn't do it isn't realy his fault.

As for last day pardons, that happens with every President. So unless the pardon was paid for, I give it a pass.

OT, sort of, but one constitutional amendment I could get behind is abolishing the Presidential pardon power.

We have a great deal of due process in this country (more than a lot of places). Our system isn’t perfect, but since the likelihood of a not-politically-connected individual getting a pardon is infinitesimally small anyway, I don’t have a problem taking away that power. I think the potential for abuse for far outweighs it’s desirability.

Yep, just think of all those J6ers pardoned by a Republican president after criming in the open, being convicted, and being sentenced. In furtherance of a coup by a Republican soon-to-be ex-President.

Christie continues to go off on Trump leaving the conference in a fantastic rant: “This is a guy who paid off a porn star .. This guy offered me WH Chief of Staff, then he’s on a podcast saying he never trusted me. What does that make him? A liar or an idiot.”

It becomes a calculus -- TFG's handlers have to ask "Will the other not-our-guy people on stage let Christie bad-mouth Our Guy unchallenged or will they court his voters actively by defending Our Guy? If the former, dare we convince Our Guy it's in his best interests to appear to defend himself?"

I thought they also had to agree to support Trump if he got the nomination? I can't see Christie doing that.

I know he's good at trolling Trump, but I despise him for so many reasons. If he wants to talk about Trump, let's hear some stories about what happened when he was helping Trump prepare for the debates.

If he won't talk about that, I'm not interested in anything else he has to say.
