Christie previously said Republicans who claim that the election was stolen are doing so to score “political points” with individuals Trump “lied to.”

Christie is now encouraging his party to move past 2020 presidential election fraud claims.

In September, he said the Republican Party needs to be “the party that’s perceived to be telling the American people the truth.”

Christie has been a rumored candidate for the 2024 race. In December, he said he “would not rule it out” when asked if he will mount a bid for the White House, and in May, he said he would not wait to see if Trump runs again to make a decision.

Christie, who ran against Trump in the GOP presidential primary in 2016 and then later endorsed the Republican nominee, started to break from Trump after testing positive for COVID-19 while working on debate prep at the White House.

Christie told the audience on Saturday that the line of Trump supporters “begins behind me,” pointing to his past support for the former president and his work on his transition and campaigns.
