Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie has offered a surprising prediction regarding Donald Trump’s potential ability to vote for himself in the 2024 election. In an interview with Fox Business’ Neil Cavuto, Christie speculated about a scenario where Trump, if nominated by the GOP, might face legal challenges preventing him from casting a vote for himself.

Christie pointed to the possibility of Trump being a convicted felon by the time of the election due to the numerous charges he faces in four criminal cases, including those related to the January 6 Capitol riot. The former governor suggested that a trial just before Super Tuesday could lead to a conviction, preventing Trump from participating in the democratic process, as per HuffPost. Christie emphasized the significance of Trump’s former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, testifying against him, indicating that conservative voters might be swayed by the words of someone once close to the former president.
While Trump’s legal issues haven’t noticeably affected his standing in the polls, Christie argued that a conviction would be different. He highlighted the shift from a liberal prosecutor discussing Trump’s alleged crimes to Meadows, a conservative figure, making accusations.
