Chris Christie says Trump not a factor in potential 2024 presidential run.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie revealed he will not be deferring to former President Donald Trump in his consideration of whether to run for president in 2024 — saying doing so is “a real sign of both weakness and indecision.”
Christie, who ran in the 2016 GOP primary before endorsing then-candidate Trump, made the comments during an interview with the “Ruthless” podcast released Tuesday.
“After 2022 is over, we’ll make a decision about whether we’re going to run or not, but I certainly won’t preclude it,” the former New Jersey governor began, likely referring to his wife, Mary Pat Christie.
He then took a swipe at potential rivals, saying, “I’m also not going to be one of these people who’s gonna say, ‘Well, I’ll wait to see what President Trump is gonna do.’ I’m not going to defer to anyone.”
