Fmr. Gov. Chris Christie:
Exactly the right person, Judy.
Look, Trump voters are not going to listen to this argument from someone who was a never-Trumper, who never thought that Donald Trump did anything well. I think Donald Trump did a lot of good things for this country on taxes and affordability, on the regulatory state, on conservative justices and judges to our courts, and on trade.
And so I think there is a lot of good things to talk about. And I think we need to give the president, the former president credit, in addition, for Operation Warp Speed. But I think when someone who has been a biggest supporter of President Trump as I have been says, look, this has to stop, this grievance politics and looking backwards has to stop, and we have to move forward as a party, so that we can help our country, I think someone like me has even more credibility saying it than someone who never thought that Donald Trump did anything good.
I don’t buy that. I believe he did a lot good for this country. But what he is doing right now, the argument that is being made is not good for our party. And, as a result, that is not good for the country.
