It’s heating up like a fireworks show on the Fourth of July. Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is showing some real grit and determination by refusing to back down, despite some GOP bigwigs telling him to throw in the towel.

The establishment is trying to muscle Christie out of the race, but he’s not taking it lying down. New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, a fellow Republican, and other party operatives are practically begging Christie to make way for former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley.
He’s been sparring with Sununu, saying the governor’s endorsement of Haley has drastically changed him. Christie’s not afraid to call out the hypocrisy, pointing out that Sununu has criticized President Trump in the past, while Haley shies away from criticizing the former president. Talk about a political cage match!
Christie is doubling down on his resolve, telling everyone that he’s in it to win it (insert Hulk Hogan theme song here). He’s not mincing words, either. Christie is firing back at his critics, reminding them that every candidate is an underdog in this race, except for Trump, according to the polls.
Even though Christie currently sits at third place in the polls, with Trump’s shadow casting a long one over the competition, he’s not throwing in the towel. In fact, he’s pumping $3.5 million into ads to rally support in New Hampshire. That’s one bold move, folks!
These ads aren’t pulling any punches either. Christie’s camp is taking direct shots at Haley and others, calling them out for not standing up to Trump. It’s like a political showdown at high noon, and Christie’s not afraid to ruffle some feathers.
