Former New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie said on Sunday that former President Trump must stop talking about his belief that the 2020 presidential election was “stolen” and instead focus on the future if he wants to run again in 2024, The Hill reports.
Appearing on “Fox News Sunday” to promote his new book, “Republican Rescue,” Christie told guest host Bret Baier that as long as Trump believes he is the best person to be president, has a strong chance of winning and has his family’s support, he should run again.
Baier asked Christie if he believes Trump will ever concede the 2020 election to Biden.
“Well, I hope he will, Bret. I don’t know that he will, and he certainly hasn’t now in a year, but I hope that what he’ll do is move on and just stop talking about it. Even if he doesn’t formally concede, we need to stop talking about the fact that the election was stolen when, as I lay out in the book, there’s really no solid evidence that it was.”
“You know, voters always want the next election, Bret, to be about the future, not about the past,” Christie added. “And there’s plenty to talk about right now with the awful failures of Joe Biden in crime, in education, in taxes and spending, Afghanistan, other foreign policy issues like China, and we should be talking about those things or laying out our prescriptions.” Read more at The Hill.

Although I can’t stand Christie, he’s 100% right this time. Trump should stop talking about the 2020 election. The more he focuses on it the more he will turn people off. Even if it WAS rigged, people, particularly independent voters,
don’t want to hear about it any more. Focus on the future, getting the country back on track. That’s the litmus test for Trump. If he could only put his ego aside. He was a GREAT President and can be one again, if only he wouldn’t be his own worst enemy with his character flaws. (BTW, in terms of character flaws, the current Prez is even worse. He’s just not as loud).
