WASHINGTON – With three denizens of the Republican establishment launching presidential campaigns this week, the race for the 2024 nomination has begun to resemble the sprawling 2016 field that proved a huge boon to unfancied outsider Donald Trump.but the conventional wisdom remains the same: the larger the chasing pack, the more likely he is to win by dividing the anti-Trump vote.
The 60-year-old Newark native has already begun needling his former friend, arguing last month that the former reality TV star and real estate tycoon was “afraid” of debating serious opponents. The former federal prosecutor came in sixth in New Hampshire seven years ago and eventually endorsed Trump, serving as a key advisor before the pair had a high-profile falling out.Mr Christie has since assailed Trump on all manner of issues, highlighting the escalating criminal probes targeting the embattled billionaire, trashing hisand dubbing him “Putin’s puppet” over his isolationist stance on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“Because he will attack Trump relentlessly, Mr Christie’s campaign will get a ton of coverage in the mainstream press, which may help him do well in New Hampshire,” said Mr Ellis, founder of the News Items current affairs newsletter. Mr Pence, Trump’s unwaveringly loyal vice president turned reluctant critic, is expected to launch his campaign on Wednesday, ahead of a CNN Town Hall in Iowa.‘Last man standing’
