DeSantis to join 2024 Republican competitors at Sen. Ernst's Roast & Ride fundraiser in Des Moines
FOX NewsAPR 2023
Christie is the Republican Party’s best hope to sell a message of hope rather than grievance to voters and derail the unpopular and criminally-charged Trump from claiming the nomination. Christie broke away from Trump over the latter’s lies about the 2020 election results, and anyone who denies the results of an election is a threat to democracy who should be kept out of the White House.
Christie is becoming irrelevant to the Republican Party and US politics in general. Trump is the clear frontrunner with tepid resistance from those in Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ camp. But no one is clamoring for Christie to join this race because this is Trump’s nomination, and no one is going to vote for a turncoat who doesn’t represent the party’s values.
