GOP Debate Key Takeaway: Chris Christie: Direct, Honest, Can Beat Joe Biden

Last night on the debate stage Governor Chris Christie made his case to Republican Party primary voters by answering the questions directly and telling the truth.

He focused on the issues and was the only candidate to make the compelling argument that in order to defeat Joe Biden in November 2024, we must move on from Donald Trump.

“He displayed the traits and qualities that made him successful in New Jersey during his early years in office. He gave articulate, intelligent responses but was fearless and aggressive in a non-offensive or pompous manner.”

“Quite frankly, Christie looked like a conservative Republican who could defeat Joe Biden and take on the toxic left-wing politicians in the Democratic Party.”

-Christopher Tremoglie, 8/24/23

One thing was made clear in the first GOP debate: no candidate bested Chris Christie in both form & substance. Judge for yourself with these debate moments:
