It's the first time in the 2024 campaign Christie has been asked on the trail about blemishes from his own administration in New Jersey.
BEDFORD, N.H. — Gov. Chris Christie’s trademark in the 2024 presidential race is that he’s the Republican most willing to rip into Donald Trump’s deficiencies. But in a state like New Hampshire that focuses on retail politics, campaigning also means facing tough questions about himself and his beliefs.
The audience member tried to connect Christie’s low favorability numbers in a May 2023 Monmouth poll to events that happened during the governor’s administration.He addressed Beachgate, which occurred when New Jersey’s legislature did not finalize a budget by its summer 2017 deadline, which prompted a state government shutdown. Viral aerial photos showed Christie lounging on a public beach with his family by the governor’s beach house during the July 4 weekend in 2017.
“This is the stuff you’ve got to be ready for if you’re going to run for political office and you’ve been in political office for the eight years that I was the governor of a very blue state,” Christie said. During his latest campaign swing, Christie continued to attack the former president while defending his own record and opinions.
After Christie could see Johnson was unsatisfied with his answer, Christie allowed Johnson to express his opinion.
