Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is calling out former President Trump for “hiding” behind Truth Social while Christie and the other GOP 2024 presidential candidates prepare for their second debate next week.
“Stop hiding behind your … failed social media site,” Christie said Thursday on CNN.
Trump, who has a commanding lead in Republican primary polls, passed on the first debate and has said he will skip the second, which is set take place next Wednesday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California.
Christie, who has frequently battled with Trump, said the former president needs to “stop being a coward” and “show up” to the debates if he has something to say. The remarks came after Trump hit the former governor as a “grifter” on Truth Social.
“He doesn’t like when people stand up to him and call him out on the nonsense that he’s involved in,” Christie told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “If he had any guts, he’d get on the debate stage.”
