Chris Christie says Trump is spreading a 'disease' that’s killing GOP election chances

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie warned Wednesday that Donald Trump is actively sabotaging Republican electoral prospects by poisoning his own voters against mail-in ballots, calling it a lingering “disease” inside the GOP. Speaking on MSNBC, Christie said Trump’s nonstop claims that elections are rigged—especially by mail voting—have conditioned large blocks of Republican voters to believe their ballots won’t count, suppressing turnout among seniors and others. Christie noted that Trump was repeatedly warned in 2020 to stop attacking mail-in voting, but ignored the advice, leaving Republicans “smashed” in later vote counts and still paying the political price today.
