TRENTON, N.J. (1010 WINS) -- Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie would consider running against President Donald Trump if the outgoing politician decides to vie for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024, he said in a new interview.
In an interview with Christie published on Monday, conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt brought up the possibility that Trump could throw his hat into the 2024 presidential race.
"...[I]f President Trump decides to run in 2024, are you ruling out running against him?" Hewitt asked.
"I would not. No," Christie said.
"All right. You would not rule out? Or you would not run?" Hewitt pressed him.
"I would not rule it out, Hugh," Christie responded.
Christie, who ran against Trump in the 2016 Republican presidential primary race, also criticized the president's continued refusal to accept the results of the November election.
"The president is very, very focused now just on his continued concerns about how the election went. Those are things that he and I do not agree on," he said. "And so I try not to agitate him too much."
"But listen, I've been his friend for 20 years. I'll continue to be his friend," he added. "But on this one, we have a fundamental disagreement."
