President Donald Trump declared that former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) and New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH) have “ZERO chance” in the 2024 Republican primary race.
“It will be a race to see who will be the first to get to 1% in the Republican Primary,” Trump began.
“Sloppy Chris Christie, who had a 9% approval rating when he was Governor of New Jersey, or the little-known (for a reason!) Governor of New Hampshire, Chris Sununu, who is 30 points down to me in his own State, and never lifts a finger to help anybody but himself,” he said, adding that potential challengers are “wasting their time and money, they have ZERO chance!”
The 45th president’s remarks come amid reports that Chris Christie will formally announce his presidential bid.
If the reports are accurate, Christie’s announcement will come less than a month after the release of a Fairleigh Dickinson University survey showing 70 percent of Republicans and Republican leaners in the Garden State support Trump, Breitbart notes.
Sixty-nine percent said they would not consider supporting Christie.
Sununu announced he is officially refraining from jumping into the presidential race on Monday.
He told CNN’s Inside Politics:
“We’ve taken the last six months to really look at things, where everything is, and I’ve made the decision not to run for president on the Republican ticket in 2024. Obviously, a lot goes into that decision. It’s been quite an adventure, but not the end of the adventure by any means.“
When asked why he decided to stay out of the race, Sununu noted Trump is “doing much better in the polls than folks thought.”
“I want more young Republicans. I’m tired of losing races. I’m tired of losing U.S. Senate races and governor races. And I think more folks in the Republican Party have to have that voice in making sure this is about the Republican Party, not just about the former president,” he added.
As Brietbart reported:
Last week, the Republican National Committee (RNC) announced the criteria for the first GOP presidential debate taking place on August 23, 2023, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. There are strict polling requirements, as a candidate must 1) poll at least one percent in three national polls or 2) poll at one percent in two national polls, in addition to garnering one percent support in an early state survey that meets the RNC’s requirements.

The Uni-Party Republicans couldn’t care less that their slate of “candidates” can’t rise above 1%. A stage full of opponents sets the visual of a divided party with an extreme dislike of Trump, even though his approval is in the 80s. Also, it’s a possibility that one of these nitwit hacks may pop off with something that embarrasses Trump on a debate stage. “Chubs” Christie knows he has absolutely no chance.
Christie recommende Wray for FBI to Trump at a time they were friends. Chritie’s lawyer for Bridgegate was Wray.
We LOVE you DONALD !!!!!!!
Governor Chris Christy is shilling for Soros dollars to split the republican vote in 24. He’s just following DeSantis’ example.
