Trump\u2019s posts also included the now-infamous pictures of Christie sitting at a New Jersey beach in 2017 during a time when such spaces were closed due to the state\u2019s government shutdown.<\/p>\n<p>Christie has generally trailed in the 2024 presidential polling, but has been making a strong effort to establish himself in New Hampshire, a key early state.<\/p>\n<p>According to a recent CNN\/University of New Hampshire poll, Trump still leads in the state by a wide margin (39%), but Christie (11%) is essentially in a four-way tie with tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy\u00a0(13%), former South Carolina Gov.\u00a0Nikki Haley\u00a0(12%)\u00a0and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (10%) for second place. DeSantis had been considered Trump\u2019s closest rival in the state, but he\u2019s seen his poll numbers drop considerably of late.<\/p>\n<p>Christie said on CNN that his rise in New Hampshire has likely prompted Trump\u2019s recent accusations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has stopped attacking Ron DeSantis and he started attacking me,\u201d Christie said.<\/p>\n<p>Christie also jokingly questioned if Trump\u2019s late-Wednesday Truth Social posts were a result of indigestion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe he had some bad Chinese food or something,\u201d Christie said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/chris-christie-fires-back-at-donald-trump-as-the-republican-race-heats-up-in-new-hampshire-9bbbb11e?mod=economy-politics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201c\u2018Keep it coming, Donald.\u2019\u201d That\u2019s Republican presidential candidate and former New Jersey Gov.
