Fort Dodge, Iowa — Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has returned to the Iowa campaign trail to headline a fundraiser for Senator Chuck Grassley.
But Christie — who ran for president in 2020 — may be back soon as a 2024 presidential candidate.
Christie suggests that while Donald Trump may be considered the front-runner for the GOP’s next presidential nomination, things change quickly in politics.
In a country that seems to be clearly divided into partisan camps, Christie says now is the time for a Republican presidential campaign about unity.
Christie, a two-term governor of New Jersey, served as a U.S. Attorney for seven years. Christie says it’s crazy talk for other Republicans to suggest defunding the FBI as a response to the search of former President Trump’s Florida home.
Christie says if court documents related to the search are released for public view, it will give Americans a better idea of why a federal judge signed off on the search. The Department of Justice filed a motion Thursday to unseal those documents and late Thursday night, Trump announced he would agree to the release. The decision is now up to the judge.
