Chris Christie Will Not Defer to Trump on 2024 Bid

Chris Christie (R) told the Ruthless podcast that he will not wait to see if former President Donald Trump runs for president in 2024 before making his own decision to run.

Said Christie: “I’m also not going to be one of these people who’s going to say, ‘Well, I’ll wait to see what President Trump’s going to do.’ You know, I’m not going to defer to anyone if I decide that it’s what I want to do, and that I think I’m the best option for the party and for the country.”
