Report: Chris Christie to Run for President in 2024

Jordan Dixon-Hamilton 18 May 2023

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) will announce his 2024 White House candidacy “in the coming days,” New Hampshire news radio host Chris Ryan reported on Thursday.

Ryan reported that Christie’s campaign would be “focused on New Hampshire,” an early Republican primary state that often determines the success of a candidate’s campaign.

New York Mets owner Steve Cohen will be one of several donors supporting Christie’s 2024 run, Ryan reported.

They are lining up. Chris Christie is in it for the $$.  He knows he can't win.

It will be interesting to see what his current platform is.

Here's his past:

Well, I thought I'd be able to pull up his information -- none to be found.   :shrug:

I don't think Christie can "run" anywhere.

Fat jokes aside, he's got no lane.  He's an East Coast "moderate" Republican, and those are a distinct minority in the the GOP.

The last fat man to win election to President was  Taft, a man so profoundly rotund that after sending a telegram to the secretary of war about a horseback ride, the secretary replied, “Referring to your telegram . . . how is the horse?”

With Cristy they would need to change the springs on his Horseless carriage

If I recall, didn’t they have to put in a larger bathtub in the White House for President Taft?


And Christie had some kind of bariatric surgery a few years back. I guess it didn’t take.

He has shed some pounds.  This pcture is a comparison.  Considering he was close to 400 pounds, I think the surgery was successful to a degree. I don't know if he's kept the weight off or not.

Well I guess he has good company, another Rino I would skip and vote "write in" other than vote for.

The obvious reaction to the bizarre idea that Chris Christie will soon enter the 2024 GOP primaries and then win the general election – “Fat chance! – is accurate on every level. The rotund Republican has zero support among the base, having missed his window a decade ago and having gone on to become one of those Republicans whose primary function is to trash other Republicans – a chubby chimp dancing for dimes as the MSNBC organ grinders play. Why is he running? Delusion? Narcissism? Greed? Who knows?

Who cares?

We’ve talked about Nikki Haley before. Remember her? She’s still running for vice president, er, president. I spoke to about 150 conservative women in Washington state the other night and mentioned her. Her support was zero. Nada. Nil. Yet now the aforementioned Pillsbury Doughcandidate and a few other no-hopers are joining her in spending tens of millions to top out at 3%.

Add Mike Pence to the Footnote Force, about 20 years after the last election where his brand of milquetoast Weekly Standard weakness had any resonance.  ...

Then there’s Tim Scott, the favorite of everyone who thinks Mike Pence is too fiery and aggressive. I like Tim Scott. Heck, I like Mike Pence too. They would make terrific Sunday school teachers, but it’s Saturday night and all right for fighting. Gentle people like them have a role, and that role is not “leader.” ...
