Ian Bremmer: Republican Identity Crisis: Chris Christie vs. Donald Trump – GV Wire

[ad_1]

The only way out is through mediation. That’s how former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie views the 2024 GOP primary, and more specifically, how he views its frontrunner, former President Donald Trump.

“I think there is a lane for the nomination, and right now Donald Trump is in front of that lane,” Christie told Ian Bremmer in a wide-ranging interview for GZERO World. “And if you want to get in front of that lane, you’d better cut in and pass him because, otherwise, you’re trying to go around him? I don’t think it’s a strategy.”

Bremmer invited Christie on the show to see how things were shaping up for the upcoming main event, and one thing was clear: It wasn’t going to be pretty. From Christie’s own … um … complicated … past with the man she first legitimized in 2015, to the more pressing issues facing the country today, Bremmer and Christie cover it all. They also discussed the week’s news, with Christie expressing confidence that Republicans and Democrats won’t walk off the debt-ceiling cliff holding hands (or slapping each other).
