Two Jersey Boys are seeking the Republican nomination for the office of president.
Former Governor Chris Christie kicked off his campaign in June. Yesterday, businessman Hirsh Singh launched his campaign.
A former supporter of Donald Trump, Christie later turned against him.
“Beware of the leader in this country who you have handed leadership to who has never made a mistake, who has never done anything wrong, who when something goes wrong it is someone else’s fault, and who has never lost,” Christie told the New Hampshire audience at his kickoff, alluding to Trump.
“I’ve lost,” Christie added. “You people did that to me in 2016.”
A former U.S. Attorney who became governor by defeating Democratic incumbent Jon Corzine in 2009, Christie served as New Jersey governor for eight years, limping out of office with a 16% approval rating following Bridgegate and his decision to take his family to a state-run beach during a government shutdown.
For his part, Singh ran unsuccessfully for congress, governor and U.S. Senate.
He was also an ardent Trump backer, who now sees fit to run in a Republican Primary dominated by Trump.
“Singh’s appeal transcends across the conservative and libertarian segments as well as among the Republican Party’s insiders who like his clean image and ability to strongly send a strong message without compromising on conservative values despite having a statesman-like style of campaigning. His effectiveness can be seen from the fact that a Democrat leader from Singh’s state has labeled him “Trump on Steroids” for his political positions.
“Singh is the only person among the major candidates who is not vaccinated with the experimental COVID vaccine, a fact that is seen as evidence of his strong credentials as a conservative and a principled person. Singh was also at the forefront of leading protest rallies against the compulsory vaccination regimes as well as against the COVID lockdowns. “A lesser known fact about COVID is that it has killed more businesses than people in the US, and this can be blamed on the lockdowns,” said Singh.
Both Christie and Singh have a tough path as they seek the GOP nomination for president.
In a Monmouth University Poll released earlier this week:
“When asked whom they would like to see as the Republican nominee for president in 2024, 46% of GOP-aligned and leaning voters name Trump and 20% name Florida Governor Ron DeSantis without any prompting. In a primary ballot question that explicitly lists 14 announced candidates, Trump’s support increases to 54% while DeSantis’ vote share barely moves (22%) and no other candidate gets above 5%. In a head-to-head contest between just the two, Trump garners 55% support and DeSantis gets 35%. These results are similar to a Monmouth poll taken two months ago when DeSantis officially launched his campaign.”
Christie registered three-percent.
Here’s the question:
