Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie told MSNBC that his strategy to bash Trump has a purpose. Christie believes Trump voters will eventually become Christie voters.
When asked during an MSNBC interview if his anti-Trump rhetoric is hurting his own political chances, Christie fired back, saying it’s all part of his plan to defeat Trump.
The former unpopular New Jersey governor thinks he will win the hearts and minds of trump voters by constantly bashing the former President even though a recent poll in his own state showed that 69% of voters are with Trump and 55% say they definitely don’t what Christie back.
“I’m not surprised to see that when in the initial stages of a campaign, you go after the person who was the incumbent president and is the front-runner, of course, the people who are inclined to vote for him at the moment are going to think unfavorably of you.” Christie adds, “But that’s why campaigns matter, Andrea, and arguments can get changed. And we’ve seen campaigns change significantly.”
Today, Christie learned that another New Jersey politician with an anti-Christie history has announced he is running for office. Former candidate for Governor, U.S. Senate, and U.S. Congress Hirsh Singh announced he is running for President.
Christie has been polling at between 0% and 3% in recent 2024 presidential polls.
