In a recent interview with talk show host Hugh Hewitt, Presidential Candidate Chris Christie faced a grilling about his continued fundraising and spending despite low chances of winning. Hewitt suggested that Christie might be staying in the race to harass Donald Trump or questioned if he genuinely believed he could win. The conversation intensified when Hewitt pointed out that Christie's persistence in the race could be diverting votes from Nikki Haley, who has a better chance in New Hampshire. Christie defended his decision, but Hewitt concluded by asserting that Christie's continued candidacy might inadvertently ensure Trump's victory in the primary. Christie responded by stating that if he doesn't win, he won't vote for Trump, opting to throw his vote away and vote down-ballot. Shifting focus to New York, Attorney General Letitia James is seeking substantial penalties against former President Trump, advocating for a $370 million fine and a lifetime ban from conducting business in the state. The legal battle centers around Trump's financial statements provided to banks for loans, with his team arguing that clear disclaimers were included, and the banks didn't question the figures. Trump maintains his innocence, citing “no victims, no crime,“ and criticizes the case's controversial nature, with CNN highlighting AG James's campaign promise to take legal action against him. Despite the challenges, Trump confidently asserts his innocence and discusses the possibility of a Biden pardon for his son, Hunter. In another interview, radio show host Charlamagne tha God expressed harsh criticism of President Biden. Charlamagne argued that Democrats rely excessively on portraying Trump as a criminal, emphasizing the need for effective rather than purely virtuous politicians. He complimented Trump's ability to garner attention but criticized him as a “bad man.“ Charlamagne highlighted Biden's perceived lack of action for black communities and expressed discontent with Biden's budget allocation for war over aiding the poor. The segment concludes by mentioning Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy's perspective on the 2024 race. Ramaswamy suggests that Nikki Haley, not Biden, is Trump's main rival, describing her as the “perfect Trojan horse“ for those in power, transcending party lines based on shared goals.
