Former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ), a candidate for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, said Tuesday on FNC’s “America Reports” that former President Donald Trump’s trial will “lead to Republicans losing all across this country.”
Anchor John Roberts said, “Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is an Obama appointee, said we’re going to the courtroom on the fourth of March, a day before Super Tuesday. Supporters of former President Trump are looking at this saying that timeline seems to clearly be designed to interfere with the primary process. What do you say?”
Christie said, “What interferes with the primary process is Donald Trump’s conduct and his insistence on continuing to run for president of the United States despite the fact he’s been indicted in four different jurisdictions and he’s out on bail in four different jurisdictions in this country. Whether you believe the charges are just or not, they are here. What is going to do is put the Republican Party in an awful position.”
He added, “We can’t have Joe Biden and Kamala Harris another four years. Donald Trump needs to stop putting himself in front of our party and in front of the people of this country. His trial is going to led to Republicans losing all across this country.”
