Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) needled his old friend, former President Donald Trump, over the smaller crowd sizes he drew at the Conservative Political Action Conference Saturday.
Trump has long taken pride in the colossal and enthusiastic crowds he's been able to draw while ribbing his foes who fail to attract such an outpour. Christie, who has kept a 2024 run on the table, contended that the less-than-stellar Trump showing at CPAC was indicative of his waning influence.
“You saw the scenes at CPAC, that room was half-full,” Christie said on ABC’s This Week With George Stephanopoulos. “The reason I don’t think the rallies are going on … I don’t think the rallies would be nearly as big as they were before.” BREAKING: There might have been even less people at former President Trump‘s CPAC speech tonight than there were at his son’s speech where he attacked disabled people.
— Brian Krassenstein March 5, 2023 "Look, he is the front-runner, there's no doubt. He's essentially an incumbent president running for renomination, not reelection, but renomination. And so, of course, he's the front-runner right now," Christie continued.
