Christie has been a Trump agnostic, then a crucial Trump validator, then a Trump COVID victim, and now he wants to be a Trump-seeking missile.
Former New Jersey governor and 2016 presidential candidate Chris Christie entered the presidential race on Tuesday. Good for him.
He was elected governor of New Jersey in 2009 and gained national notoriety for his confrontational style. He turned down repeated entreaties to run for president in 2012—which was, in retrospect, his first, best, and only chance to become president—but cruised to reelection in 2013. That was supposed to be his ticket to the 2016 presidential nomination.
Then, a couple of things happened. He and his administration were engulfed in a dramatic, hilarious scandal in which his aides werein a town whose mayor wouldn’t endorse him. Then, Trump entered the presidential race in 2016 and took over Christie’s shtick as the combative Tri-State bully. (Christie had also gotten in trouble with the Republican base years before for embracing Barack Obama after a hurricane.
