Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is considering another run for president in 2024, despite rumors that President Donald Trump will also run in 2024.

In an interview on Monday with talk show host Hugh Hewitt, Christie said, “I would not rule it out,” when asked if he would run for president – even against Trump.

Christie ran for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination before suspending his campaign and endorsing Trump.

Christie has since become an ally to President Trump, serving as the head of the president’s 2016 transition planning team. He also was involved in Trump’s debate Trump against President-elect Joe Biden.

In Monday’s interview, the former New Jersey governor said he does not agree with how Trump is handling his loss to President-elect Joe Biden.

“The president is very, very focused now just on his continued concerns about how the election went, those are things that he and I do not agree on. I try not to agitate him too much. I’ve been his friend for 20 years, I’ll continue to be his friend but on this one, we have a fundamental disagreement,” Christie said.

Christie told Hewitt that he was doubtful Trump would attend Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20.

“I think he should. I think these type of rituals and traditions and norms are important in our democracy, but I’m doubtful that he will,” Christie said. “But he’s Donald Trump, which makes him very unpredictable so you never quite know.”

Christie noted that he was upset by President Trump’s loss to Biden.

“I was very disappointed that he lost,” Christie said. “Losing in politics hurts much more than winning feels good.”

When asked by Hewitt if Christie had a Christie 2024 URL reserved, he replied, “ChrisChristie.com is [reserved], so we’re going to keep that one, and we’ll see where we go from here.”

Over 100 Migrants Cross Border Hours After Trump’s Election Win and Caravan of 3,000 Want to Cross Before Inauguration

A new migrant caravan traveling through Mexico of approximately 3,000 migrants who departed from Tapachula, a southern Mexican city near the Guatemalan border, are headed towards the border in hopes of crossing before January. The caravan is one of many examples of the latest influx of migrants aiming to enter the United States before changes in U.S. immigration policies under Trump’s incoming administration.

Just two hours after President-elect Donald Trump won the 2024 election on a pledge to end illegal immigration, over 100 migrants crossed the U.S.-Mexico border near Eagle Pass, Texas. The group, consisting primarily of individuals from Central and South America, also included two migrants from Africa and about a dozen unaccompanied minors, among them two young brothers, reports ADN America. They crossed the Rio Grande River and were quickly intercepted by U.S. Border Patrol agents, who transported them by bus for processing.

Agents provided blankets to the children to ensure their safety, as night temperatures can dip in the region. Current policies under the Biden administration allow unaccompanied minors to seek asylum, a measure introduced earlier this year.

During his campaign, Trump repeatedly emphasized his intention to secure the southern border and implement what he calls a “historic” mass deportation effort aimed at undocumented individuals. In his victory speech on Wednesday morning, he promised to “fix” and “seal” U.S. borders, reinforcing his commitment to lawful immigration pathways. “We will make sure those who come to America do so legally,” he declared.

During President Joe Biden’s administration, migrant encounters at the U.S. border reached record highs. Federal data reveals over 10 million total interceptions, with the fiscal year from October 2021 to September 2022 seeing the largest annual surge, totaling over 2.2 million crossings. As the Trump administration prepares to take office, expectations are high for swift policy changes aimed at addressing the migration crisis.
