Former Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie entered the 2024 presidential primary with exactly one job: making former President Donald Trump look bad. If he really wants to take down Trump, he should now exit the race.
Christie’s main political strength was always yelling at people. He was a popular two-term Republican governor in Democrat-dominated New Jersey because of his ability to be smarter, louder, and more obnoxious than the people he was up against. The closest thing he had to an accomplishment in his 2016 presidential race was making Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) look bad in a debate, thus helping Trump.
