.ChrisChristie launched his campaign for president on Tuesday, drawing ire and fat jokes from former President Donald Trump, the odds-on favorite to win the 2024 Republican nomination.
Christie is currently polling at 1% in RealClearPolitics's 2024 average, the third-lowest of any announced Republican, but Republican strategists believe that the New Jerseyan's run is more about getting"revenge" against Trump than any hopes of personally achieving the nation's highest office, even if it ends his political career in the process.When Christie launched his 2016 bid in the summer of 2015, many viewed him as a legitimate contender for the nomination.
"In 2016, Trump was willing to say and do what Chris wasn't," one veteran New York GOP operative explained."He stole Chris's shtick, but now we know who Trump is. He's a fighter, but he's never gone up against someone who's willing to get in the mud and fight to the death, and that's what Chris wants to do. Get him on the debate stage and make him bleed.
Rubio, who was then polling in third place in the crowded Republican primary, repeatedly used a canned line about former President Barack Obama, and Christie knocked Rubio for relying on a"memorized 30-second speech." "Until somebody’s out there and taking it to him, this is all being done in a vacuum," he added."You have to get in the ring and do it and take the risk that goes along with that."His reaction to Christie's Tuesday night announcement focused on the former governor's weight.
