2024 Election


CHRIS CHRISTIE WARNS IF TRUMP WINS THE GOP NOMINATION 'WE'RE GOING TO LOSE THIS
ELECTION'

“And if we lose to Joe Biden, Republicans need to understand that we’re going to
be looking at a packed Supreme Court, we’re going to be looking at the end of
the filibuster," Christie said.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Tuesday that Donald Trump’s coming
trial in the special counsel's election interference case and other mounting
legal woes will kill the Republican Party’s chances of winning the 2024 race for
the White House if the former president becomes the GOP nominee.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan of Washington, D.C., who is overseeing the
federal election interference case, set a trial date of March 4 — the eve of
Super Tuesday, when the largest number of states have primaries.




Christie, who is running against Trump in a crowded GOP field for the
presidential nomination, warned in an interview Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”
that the timing of the trial and others in three separate criminal cases against
Trump would work against the Republican Party, noting Trump could be in court in
the special counsel's election case for six weeks or more starting March 4
instead of being out on the campaign trail, which “Republicans should be doing
every day.”

“We simply cannot expect that someone who is facing this number of criminal
trials, and, quite frankly, the conduct that underlies those charges, can be a
viable fall election candidate against Joe Biden,” Christie said. “And if we
lose to Joe Biden, Republicans need to understand that we’re going to be looking
at a packed Supreme Court, we’re going to be looking at the end of the
filibuster, and a number of other issues that folks like me and the rest of the
folks in our party can’t have.”

Christie concluded that the March 4 trial date "just makes it even clearer that
he cannot be our nominee. If he is, we’re going to lose the election.”

Chutkan heard arguments Monday from Trump’s lawyers and federal prosecutors
about when the case should be set for trial. Special counsel Jack Smith proposed
that the trial start in January, with jury selection beginning in December,
while Trump’s team said the trial should be pushed back until April 2026, well
after the presidential election. Chutkan said that while the special counsel's
proposed date was too soon, Trump’s proposal of 2026 was not reasonable.



Christie, a former Trump ally who emerged as a frequent critic after he broke
with his false claims of election fraud, was asked about his reaction to the
timing of Trump’s trial. 

Noting his work as a prosecutor for seven years, Christie said Trump’s election
interference case is “relatively straightforward.”

“It’s just one defendant. It’s essentially four charges,” he said. “And the idea
that they have another six months to prepare for trial would be a normal
situation in the District of New Jersey, and I think in probably almost any
federal district of any size in the country. And usually, you know, this is the
way these cases work.”

Christie said he is “not surprised by the date” and went on to criticize the
proposal from Trump’s team to delay the trial until 2026.

“I thought the 2026 request was ridiculous,” he said. “And when your lawyers go
in and make requests like that in front of a judge that they patently know is
just ridiculous, it doesn’t curry you any favor with the judge in terms of the
seriousness of the arguments you make.”

He added: “So I think it was a bad, strategic move. I’m convinced it was driven
by the client, not by the lawyers, as most of the bad decisions on the Trump
legal team are driven by. And now they’ve got a March 4th date.”


CHRIS CHRISTIE: I'M UNAFRAID TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT DONALD TRUMP

The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.



When they proposed to begin the trial in April 2026, Trump's lawyers cited the
large amount of discovery material in the case, as well as Trump’s legal issues
in other jurisdictions.

After Chutkan set the March trial date, Trump posted on Truth Social that he
would appeal the decision, saying it comes “smack in the middle of Crooked Joe
Biden’s Political Opponent’s campaign against him. Election Interference!” But
orders setting trial dates are not appealable, according to NBC News legal
analyst Chuck Rosenberg. The trial’s start date could still move because of
other litigation in the case, however.

A federal grand jury in Washington this month indicted Trump on four charges in
the special counsel's probe: conspiracy to defraud the U.S., conspiracy to
obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction, and conspiracy against the right
to vote and to have one’s vote counted. Trump pleaded not guilty at his
arraignment hearing this month.
