As he suspended his campaign, Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie, who has been a vocal critic of Donald Trump since their contentious 2016 primary, went after his fellow Republicans who promised to support a second Trump candidacy. "And let me tell you,” he said, “if Donald Trump becomes the nominee of this party, the moment that it happened was when Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis and Tim Scott and Mike Pence and Doug Burgum and Vivek Ramaswamy stood on that stage in Milwaukee in August. And when we were asked, would you support someone who is a convicted felon to be president of the United States, they raised their hands. To give Ron credit, he had to look at everybody else first to see if he wanted to raise his hand, but then he raised his hand, kind of like cheating off somebody's paper in high school. They raised their hands. And I did not. And will not. And I cannot countenance that behavior.”
Christie dropped out of the race on January 10, polling at just 3.6%.
