Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie snapped when radio host Hugh Hewitt pressed him to drop out of the 2024 presidential race in an interview on Thursday.
Christie has faced growing calls to drop out because of his significant support in New Hampshire that could potentially help defeat former President Donald Trump in the key primary state if it swung to rival candidate Nikki Haley. Hewitt pushed Christie on dropping out of the race and whether he would vote for Trump against Biden in the 10-minute interview.
“You’re not going to put this over on me,” Hewitt asserted. “Your staying in the primary undeniably helps Donald Trump get the election, doesn’t it?”
“No, it doesn’t,” Christie responded. “The fact is that we’re going out. We’re the only one running against Donald Trump. We’re the only one trying to beat Donald Trump. No one else in New Hampshire is trying to beat Donald Trump. We are, and so no, Hugh, I don’t think that’s true.”
