Notorious neocon Never Trumper Bill Kristol – who presented himself as a “principled conservative” for years – says the former New Jersey Governor and presidential hopeful Chris Christie should endorse for Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election, instead of supporting the likely Republican nominee Donald Trump.
“I really wish Christie well — I’m glad he’s making the run,” Kristol told The Washington Post in an interview about the former Governor of New Jersey’s electoral hopes, though accepting that Christie has little hope of becoming the nominee.
Instead, Kristol, who admits that he has not voted for a Republican since Trump became president – and who recently participated in a secret “uniparty” summit in Washington D.C. that aimed to block Trump from becoming president again – said:
“I hope [Christie] endorses Biden after Trump wins the nomination.”

Christie, despite positioning himself in the Republican primaries as an anti-Trump candidate, quickly rejected the suggestion, stating, “I’ve always been a Republican… and that’s the nomination I want.”
The former Governor of New Jersey declared his candidacy for the Republican nominee with a negative 22 percent approval rating and has so far struggled to poll beyond one percent. The only exception is in the state of New Hampshire, in which he recently polled just behind Ron DeSantis.
