Beyond just endorsing Trump, Christie now attack dog in chief against Rubio
- 8 years ago
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s endorsement Friday of GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump was a setback to challenger Sen. Marco Rubio, but only the beginning.
Christie made the endorsement at a Trump campaign rally in Texas.
And he’s back on the stump Saturday in Arkansas and Tennessee, where he’s expected to fulfill the role of political attack dog.
The tough-talking Christie dropped out the GOP presidential race after a poor finish in the Feb. 9 New Hampshire primaries but not before a visceral debate attack on Rubio that put the Florida senator and his campaign on the ropes.
“I will lend my support between now and November in every way that I can,” Christie said in endorsing Trump in Fort Worth, Texas.
Christie largely stuck with the argument that Trump is “the best person ... undoubtedly” to beat Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.
