In a surprising campaign ad, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie openly admits regret over endorsing Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential race. Christie, who is currently running for president, acknowledges his error in judgment, stating, “Eight years ago when I decided to endorse Donald Trump for president, I did it because he was winning, and I did it because I thought I could make him a better candidate and a better president. Well, I was wrong, I made a mistake.”
Christie’s Candid Admission and Critique of Trump
In the campaign ad, Christie speaks directly to the camera, expressing remorse for his previous endorsement of Trump. He highlights that his decision was based on Trump’s momentum at the time and his belief that he could positively influence the candidate. However, Christie acknowledges his misjudgment.
A Defiant Stance Despite Low Poll Numbers
Despite facing low poll numbers nationally and in key states like Iowa, Christie firmly asserts that he won’t be dropping out of the presidential race. On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” he declared that those expecting him to exit the race are “crazy.”
Trump Campaign’s Blunt Response
In response to Christie’s admission, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung offered a straightforward comment, stating, “Chris Christie looks like a weak bitch.”
Christie’s candid confession adds a new layer of dynamics to the evolving landscape of the 2024 presidential race.
