Chris Christie Comes To Trump’s Aid?

In a recent development, Chris Christie, a potential Republican presidential candidate, asserted that the decision by Maine’s secretary of state to exclude former President Donald Trump from the 2024 primary ballots has positioned Trump as a “martyr.”

The secretary of state contended that Trump’s actions violated parts of the constution, which prohibits individuals engaged in insurrection or rebellion from holding elected offices. According to Christie, Trump’s response to the decision portrays him as a victim, adept at playing the role of ‘Poor me.’

Maine is the 2nd state to keep Trump off the ballot. Trump’s campaign plans to appeal both decisions, with expectations that the matter will reach the United States Supreme Court. Trump’s spokesperson, Steven Cheung, characterized these exclusions as an “attempted theft of an election” and an assault on American democracy.

Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, another potential contender for the 2024 Republican nomination, expressed concerns about the ruling, warning that it could set a problematic precedent, allowing a bureaucrat to unilaterally disqualify a candidate from office. The majority of Maine’s congressional delegation criticized the decision, and state Republicans even threatened to impeach Secretary of State Shenna Bellows.

Bellows defended her decision, citing her duty under state law to address the issue promptly. She acknowledged the unprecedented nature of excluding a presidential candidate based on Section 3 of the 14th Amendment but emphasized the gravity of Trump’s involvement in an insurrection, a situation without precedent in American presidential history.
