Desantis dogs christie: i'm not running for president of a cable news network — Former NJ Governor Chris Christie.

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie can’t catch a break on the campaign trail. He’s polling in the gutter across the board. He’s barely registering on the scale in New Hampshire and isn’t even in the ballpark in Iowa. He got booed several times while speaking during the Fox News GOP debate and now, he’s back to polling in low single digits.

But Christie insists on waging war against every other Republican in a campaign that is driven by vengeance and retribution against his old boss, Donald Trump.

He’s also made some shots at Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is at this time, Christie’s key opponent for second place in the race.

When asked about Christie’s campaign, DeSantis said he’s obviously not running for President of the United States. Maybe Vice President, or even the President of a liberal cable news network.

Here’s what he said in an interview with Fox News host Martha MacCallum.

“Well, look, bring it on,” DeSantis said. “People can do what they want. I can tell you this, though, Martha, of anyone on the stage, I’m the only one whose sole purpose is running to be the 47th president of the United States and to reverse this country’s decline. I’m not running to be vice president. I’m not running to be in the cabinet, and I’m not running to be a contributor on cable news. We’re running to win, and we’re gonna show people that we’ll get the job done.”
