Christie Says Trump Won’t Become Speaker

November 22, 2021 · 5:45 pm ET · Leave a Comment

In an interview with Julie Mason, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) brushed off the idea that former President Trump could become the next House Speaker if the GOP takes control of the chamber next year.

Said Christie: “I just don’t think that’ll ultimately happen… I think that’s one of the things that the media likes to write about.”

He added: “It’s like a brokered convention. Every four years the media loves to write about a brokered convention, and it never happens.”
