Early this month, Christie claimed that he would make a decision as to whether he would eventually enter the now-crowded Republican primary race in two weeks, but has still yet to confirm his position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI know what I\u2019m good at. I know how to articulate an argument. I know how to make it. I know how to land it. And I feel like I have the ideas that people are genuinely attracted to,\u201d Christie told Fox News in April. \u201cSo if you have those things, you have a good chance to be able to do it. No guarantees, but a good chance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite being one of the first 2016 candidates to endorse Trump, Christie fell out with the 45th President over his stances on the integrity of the 2020 election, and has since become a vocal critic of the former President within the Republican Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the super PAC formation is an indication that Christie will enter the 2024 race, he will likely face an uphill battle. In a CNN poll just last week, 60% of Republican primary voters said that they would never support him, the worst numbers in the entire primary race, including other undeclared candidates like Mike Pence and Chris Sununu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">CNN POLL: 2024 GOP Primary<br><br>Trump:<br>53% &#8211; currently supporting<br>31% &#8211; would consider supporting<br>.<br>DeSantis: <br>26% &#8211; currently supporting<br>59% &#8211; would consider supporting <br>.<br>Would NEVER support:<br>DeSantis: 15%<br>Trump: 16%<br>Haley: 36%<br>T.
