Huh?
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is launching a comeback tour as he considers whether to mount a 2024 presidential bid that could put him on a collision course with Donald Trump.
The former governor is set to deliver a Thursday evening speech at the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley, Calif. — a traditional waystation for GOP presidential aspirants — as part of a speaker series the organization is hosting that focuses on the future of the Republican Party. The high-profile appearance comes as Christie intensifies his political activities ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, with a book on the way, a new perch helping the GOP raise money, and plans to help the party flip control of the House next year.
While Christie told POLITICO in an interview that his speech would not be focused on Trump, he plans to stress that Republicans “first and foremost” need to be “the party that’s perceived to be telling the American people the truth” — perhaps an implicit critique of the former president, who according to his own pollster’s post-election autopsy was regarded as less trustworthy than Joe Biden. Christie’s remarks would represent the latest turn in a long and winding relationship with Trump, whom the ex-governor staunchly supported in the 2016 campaign but forcefully denounced in the waning days of his presidency….
Note….
Despite Donald Trump?
Lot’s of Republicans ARE hustling out one the trail for 2024….
Haha!
Then there’s Andrew Yang ,the recently unsuccessful presidential and New York mayoral candidate.
He’s leaving the Democratic Party for the ever relevant world of third party politics.Starting his own party apparently.
Have fun with that!
Yang needs to strop running for office and wasting his time….

It probably won’t be Andrew Yang but an unpopular Biden (or an unpopular Harris) running against Trump in 2024 would be relatively fruitful territory for a third-party presidential bid.
