Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's 2024 presidential campaign has been a stand-out in many regards. He's taken the most aggressive approach of all candidates in going after former President Trump, condemning him as dangerous and dictatorial. Chris Christie also calls out his other Republican competitors in the race. The former governor believes candidates like Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis keep tiptoeing around explicitly denouncing Trump. While Haley and DeSantis both lead Christie in multiple polls, he's not letting that stall his campaign in the slightest. As a matter of fact, the 2024 GOP hopeful just released an ad that calls out Haley, DeSantis, and Trump.

What to know about Christie's first campaign ad

In the 30-second piece, the former governor makes the case that he's the only candidate who can defeat Trump because none of the others are even trying. To drive this point home, the ad points to polls that show Haley down 26 points to Trump in South Carolina and DeSantis down 32 points to Trump in Iowa. https://twitter.com/GovChristie/status/1735681217851183278 Branding DeSantis as a "too lame to lead" and "too weak to win" candidate, Christie's ad notes that he and Haley have taken more potshots at one another than at Trump. Finally, the piece wraps up with a debate clip of Christie warning the former president is "unfit" for the White House. Christie's campaign also let the media know this new ad will run on cable and local TV, along with live sports programs.

More on Christie's presidential campaign

Chris Sununu recently endorsed Haley, stating she's got the best chance of defeating Trump during the primaries and Biden in the general race. Moving forward, the weeks ahead will reveal if Christe's new ad gives his campaign a tangible boost or hurts any of his opponents. In the meantime, he's still on the trails in New Hampshire, meeting with voters and making his case to win the White House.
