Top Republican Secretly Working For Biden

This is what a traitor looks like.

Former New Jersey Governor and GOP presidential candidate Chris Christie appeared on the “Hacks on Tap” podcast recently, where he shared his strategy for President Biden to effectively counter former President Trump in their upcoming debates.

Christie, who has shifted from being a Trump supporter to one of his most vocal critics in this election cycle, spoke with podcast hosts David Axelrod, a former senior adviser to President Obama, and Mike Murphy, a Republican strategist. Reflecting on his previous advice to Trump during the 2020 presidential debates, Christie reiterated that Biden should allow Trump to speak freely.

“It’s the same advice I gave Trump four years ago that he didn’t follow,” Christie noted. “I told him, ‘Let Biden talk. If you let him talk, he will trip himself up.’ Trump ignored this and lost the debate.”

Christie emphasized that Biden should follow this strategy now. “No matter how infuriated you get by the inaccuracies about your record, your family, or personal attacks, don’t engage directly. Engaging in a tit-for-tat will not end well,” he advised.

Christie believes that if Biden allows Trump to dominate the conversation, viewers will tire of Trump’s relentless talking. “Biden doesn’t need to explicitly tell Trump to be quiet, like in the 2020 debate; viewers should come to that conclusion on their own,” Christie explained.

The upcoming debates are scheduled for June 27 and September. These will be their first face-offs since the 2020 election, as Trump bypassed the primary debates. The atmosphere is charged, with Trump facing potential criminal conviction related to his hush money trial, and Biden dealing with waning support over his handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict.

With predictions pointing to a tight race similar to 2020, these early debates will be crucial for both candidates to present their vision for a second term while countering their opponent’s critiques.

Christie advised Biden to focus on a few key achievements of his presidency and continuously emphasize them. “He should treat the debate as a dialogue with the moderator rather than a confrontation with Trump,” Christie suggested.

“Let Trump appear as the irate neighbor shouting over the fence, while Biden should remain calm, like someone mowing their lawn with earbuds in, occasionally waving but largely unbothered,” Christie illustrated.

“The goal is twofold: underscore Trump’s erratic behavior and ensure Biden doesn’t overreach, which could lead to mistakes,” Christie concluded.
