Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is spoiling for a fight with former President Donald Trump in the 2024 GOP presidential race, but so far, he is shadowboxing.
M. Christie hoped to confront Mr. Trump in the first debate, framing the showdown as a must-watch prize fight. The opportunity escaped him when Mr. Trump skipped the debate.
“Chris isn’t frustrated,” said Bill Palatucci, chair of the pro-Christie Tell It Like It Is super PAC. “He’s enjoying the chase and the applause that he’s receiving for standing up for the Constitution and the rule of law.” Mr. Christie is going all-in on winning or putting a stronger-than-expected showing on in the first-in-the-nation primary in New Hampshire where voters tend to be more moderate than the more conservative Republicans in Iowa. They also are known for their independent streak.
Mr. Christie, 61, has made it clear he plans to stick in the race through the New Hampshire primary. If he performs poorly, he will drop out.
