Chris Christie Says He "Might Run For President Again"

Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie doesn't know exactly what his political future will be, but he isn't ruling out another run for president some day.

Asked on BuzzFeed News' Profile about his future, he said, "There may be no political future, or I might run for president again. You know, I don't know. But I can guarantee you this: I won't run for president again if I don't think I can win. My personality is about having a chance to win," he said. "I'm competitive. And so if I had a chance to win, I would do it."

"In 2024, I'll be 62 years old. It's still 10 years younger than the president is now. And like 15 years younger than Joe Biden. So, you know, the field is open. 60 is the new 50."

And he has his own thoughts on Trump's potential 2020 competition.

"I think Biden would have the best chance at the moment, because I think he has the best opportunity to appeal to the white working-class voters that switched from Democrat to Republican to Trump," he said. But he added that "what we think two years before an election is really almost insignificant" because "we don't know how the players are going to play."

But he had historic disapproval, so I'm not sure who is looking for him.

just because he seems better than Trump and some time has passed since he was governor, don't ever forget what corrupt bastard he is.
