trump critic, now he thinks it s important to stop trump from winning the nomination. is that his best hope here? is there a chris christie lane in today s republican party? it s hard to see exactly what that lane is. though can can could be the lane that you described. which is not a lane that s going to attract the most voters, but it has a role in shape ing the race, if his attacks or pursuit and prosecution of donald trump is successful. there is this question. christie has answered this. he says you don t go wake up at the hilton inn for 50 days in a row if you don t actually want want to be president. he s not a hired political assassin. he s made clear he sees his role here as the guy that he thinks is best equipped whether on the debate stage to take trump down a notch. he will get attention in new
tonight chris christie for president the sequel. the former governor is announcing his 2024 candidacy this evening at new hampshire s college. christie is joining a big republican field. it will be ten by wook s end. donald trump is the clear leader. ron desantis is the closest challenger. christie was in the crowded field in 2016. as you can see, he struggle. in iowa he ran 10th. he finished 6th in new hampshire with about 7% of the vote. he then dropped out. with me to share their share reporting is david chal chalian, jackie california sin itch. for christie, winning would be great. beating trump would be a close second. he was a trump friend, then a
because he was going to be in new york and then when that got postponed, i think they need to coordinate it with security. let s talk about david. you confirmed he went in yesterday. do we know anything more about what he testified to? not really. but you know, his involvement in this is pretty obvious from the jump here. this is somebody who was the person who introduced michael cohen and stormy daniels. he knew how to do it because he had done a similar payment himself. he had bought the story of another woman who claimed, the former playboy play mate, a short time prior. he s interesting because he was a trump friend, ally. he was involved in both of these payments. could describe how they work and potentially when trump knew about them. that s going to be a really key part of this. was michael cohen acting on his own? he could know the answer to those questions and he presumably has more credibility
