Former New Jersey Governor cites Trump’s influence as reason for exit
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has announced that he is dropping out of the 2024 Presidential race. Christie, who had been a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump, cited Trump’s influence on the Republican party as the reason for his exit.
Christie’s Warning
Christie issued a warning to the Republican party in his announcement, stating that “if we want to change this country, it’s hard work. It’s not easy… I would rather lose by telling the truth than lie in order to win.”
Trump’s Response
Trump responded to Christie’s exit by saying “I hear Chris Christie is dropping out of the race today — I might even get to like him again!”
Conclusion
Christie’s exit from the race could have an impact on the remaining Republican candidates. Political analysts have predicted that Christie’s withdrawal from the race could help former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, who is moving up against Trump in several New Hampshire polls.
