Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said he was “wrong” about former President Donald Trump, whom he twice supported and advised ahead of the 2020 election
“Turns out I was wrong. I couldn’t make him a better candidate and I couldn’t make him a better president, and he disappointed me,” Christie told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “The Lead,” calling election night 2020 “the breaking point.” Christie, who announced his 2024 campaign on Tuesday, is putting attacks on the former president – currently the front-runner for the GOP nomination – at the center of his campaign.
This is a proxy war with China,” Christie said. “It’s very clear what we need to do. We need to give the Ukrainians every piece of military hardware they need to protect themselves against this aggression, and we need to continue to do it until they are ready to resolve the conflict with Russia,” he added. Christie said he makes “no apologies” for having aided Trump in the past. “But when I make a misjudgment, I’ll admit it.” His current disdain for Trump’s conduct extends to the personal.
