New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) suggested this week that President Donald Trump may not run for reelection in 2020, in an interview that aired Friday morning on NBC’s “Today.”
Matt Lauer asked Christie if he would back Trump in 2020. In response, Christie indicated that it’s not a sure thing that Trump will run again, though Christie did not say whether he had discussed this with the President.
“If he runs again I would support him, yes, but I’m not so sure what will happen,” Christie replied. “Four years is a long time, and especially for someone who has not spent a lifetime in politics, so I think those years affect him differently, so I’m sure the President will make whatever decision is best for him and his family and the county. If he runs again, absolutely I expect to be with him.”
Since he took office earlier this year, Trump’s reelection campaign has been somewhat active, raising money and releasing ads, suggesting that the President has plans to run again.
Watch Christie’s interview via NBC. Lauer asks Christie about Trump at the 3:50 mark.
Taking a break from the churn. (I can feel the stress hormones hardening my arteries and calcifying my aortic valve as I write.) But this is droll.
But not nearly as long as what Mueller’s gonna recommend at the sentencing hearing.
Trump is not going to appreciate speculation that would reduce contributions to his re-election fund, which he can divert to his own private ends. Christie will get straightened out on this.
if tRUmp runs for prez in 2020, let’s hope it is for prez of Cell Block D in Leavenworth, his competition will be from a large portion of his cabinet and immediate family if there is any justice
Well isn’t that a fun little chew toy of news. Christie presumably had zero reason to speculate about this out of thin air. But he did. Cui bono? If someone wanted him to do it, who was it and why?
