Matt Mowers wants Donald Trump’s support in the GOP primary – but his old boss and top supporter Governor Chris Christie visited New Hampshire to slam the former president.
Christie hammered Trump in a WMUR interview for praising Putin and in his Politics & Eggs speech this morning.
Will that help Mowers snag Trump’s key endorsement in this fraught GOP primary?
When asked if Mowers’ connections to him would hurt Mowers in a GOP primary, Christie responded, “It is not going to succeed” as he swiped at Mowers’ GOP rival Karoline Leavitt.
Christie is a top Mowers supporter and his former boss. Christie and his wife hosted a major fundraiser for Mowers last September, giving nearly $12,000 to Mowers directly.
DCCC Spokesperson James Singer
“In this fraught GOP primary, Matt Mowers is stuck between two toxically unpopular figures in Donald Trump and Chris Christie with nowhere to hide.” |
