Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is eager to take on Donald Trump. But he’s only running, he says, if he thinks he can win
Second, there’s a clear rationale for Christie 2024 that has nothing to do with him actually winning the nomination: Some Republicans are openly rooting to have Christie on GOP debate stages later this year simply to bludgeon Trump — that is, do the dirty work that DeSantis, Pence, Haley and others haven’t so far been willing to do.
Trump’s vulnerability “needs to be called out and it needs to be called out by somebody who knows him,” he said. “Nobody knows Donald Trump better than I do.”While sipping tea at the Hay-Adams on Monday, Christie laid out his three prerequisites for running. First, have something to say. Second, have your life in good enough shape to handle months on the road away from your family and hundreds of phone calls begging for money.
On a personal level, Christie thinks he’s in a better position to run this time around than eight years ago. His kids — some of whom were in middle and high school when he last ran — are now grown, meaning his wife of 37 years, Mary Pat, can travel with him instead of staying back home with the kids.
It’s the third prerequisite — have a path to victory — where Christie hasn’t quite convinced himself.
