Chris Christie promised he’d be coming for former President Donald Trump, and the federal indictment unsealed last week gave him the fuel to hit the ground running.
As many Republicans offered muted defenses or avoided the topic of Trump’s legal woes, Christie made frequent appearances on cable news shows in the last few days and spent a good portion of a 90-minute CNN town hall attacking Trump on the eve of his arraignment.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has defended Trump in the context of the indictment but amped up criticisms on other topics, including whether Trump is conservative enough for the partyA former federal prosecutor, Christie called the evidence in the indictment “damning” and the situation evidence of what he called Trump’s inability to face that he lost the 2020 election.
Christie reiterated on Monday that he believes the only path to the White House was through Trump, and some of his comments — like repeatedly calling Trump a loser — seemed to echo Trump’s own speeches.Throughout the town hall, Christie told a lot of personal stories about Trump, a close friend for years. A key ally to Trump’s previous campaigns, he’s now using some of those personal interactions as fodder for his run against Trump.
