SCDP Statement on Former Trump Official Chris Christie Bringing His Campaign to South Carolina

Jul 21, 2023

As Chris Christie brings his campaign to South Carolina for the first time, South Carolina Democratic Party spokesperson Alyssa Bradley released the following statement:

“Nothing Chris Christie says tonight can erase the fact that he was a loyal champion of Donald Trump’s MAGA agenda before, during, and after Christie worked for Trump in his administration. South Carolinians will see right through Christie’s revisionist history because the reality is he’s willing to say anything in his quest for power.”

Here’s a reminder of Christie’s actual record:

  • Chris Christie carried water for Trump and his extreme MAGA agenda for years:
    • He was the first sitting governor to endorse Trump in 2016
    • He served as the head of Trump’s transition team
    • He worked for Trump in his administration
    • He gave Trump’s presidency an ‘A’ rating.
  • Christie is following in the footsteps of the rest of the MAGA 2024 field by backing a federal abortion ban.
  • In his first failed presidential campaign, Christie called for cutting Social Security and Medicare that millions of retirees and Americans with disabilities rely on.
  • Christie REPEATEDLY blocked opportunities for working families to receive more affordable health care, calling to repeal the Affordable Care Act and vetoing a program that would allow constituents to find affordable health insurance.
