Chris Christie and others willing to take on the former president could find a receptive audience in a state where a big financial advantage means little.
After providing Donald Trump the momentum to roll to the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, the country’s first primary state may well do the exact opposite for him eight years later: Deal him a loss that cripples his hopes of returning to the Oval Office.
The twice-impeached former president who tried to overthrow the republic after losing his 2020 reelection has been hoping that his hold over a large slice of the Republican base and the $110 million he has already socked away in his political committee will give him a clear path to the 2024 nomination, should he want it.
“No one is going to give the presidential Republican nomination in 2024 away without a competition. It’s not going to happen. And it shouldn’t happen,” said former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at a key New Hampshire campaign trail stop, before mocking the fear about running against Trump. “I mean, we’re not talking about Dwight Eisenhower here. Seriously. We’re not talking about somebody who was the supreme allied commander in World War II.”
“He already has been beaten in New Hampshire,” Jennifer Horn said, pointing out that Trump, as the incumbent president, lost in November 2020 by a margin 20 times as large as he had four years earlier. “Donald Trump cannot win a general election in New Hampshire. And that is something that Republican primary voters should take seriously.”
