Christie allies launching tremendous PAC forward of probably 2024 GOP presidential bid

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s allies have began an excellent PAC forward of a probable 2024 bid for president.

The political motion committee will likely be referred to as Tell It Like It Is. It will likely be led by Brian Jones, who labored on the presidential campaigns of Sens. John McCain in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012, and by Bill Palatucci, a longtime adviser to Mr. Christie and a Republican National Committee member.

The formation of the tremendous PAC was first reported Tuesday by The New York Times.

Mr. Christie has emerged as one of many greatest critics of former President Donald Trump after having endorsed him within the 2016 Republican main and served on his transition group.

The former governor has his work lower out for him if he runs. A latest CNN ballot reveals Mr. Trump is the best choice of 53% of main voters, adopted by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, at 26%. Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and former Vice President Mike Pence acquired 6%. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina and Mr. Christie pulled in 2%.

Mr. Christie has signaled he plans to take the struggle to Mr. Trump. He flashed his debate chops within the 2016 main after hitting Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida with memorable assaults.

He is making it clear he plans to do the identical factor to Mr. Trump.

“You better have somebody on that stage who can do to him what I did to Marco, because that’s the only thing that’s gonna defeat Donald Trump,” Mr. Christie mentioned in March on the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm College. “And that means you have to be fearless, because he will come back, and right at you.”
