Today I announced my support for Harmeet Dhillon for RNC Chair via a conference call with members of the NJ Republican State Committee. I'm tired of losing and so it is time for a change at the RNC.

BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene announced as surprise speaker at white nationalist Nick Fuentes' America First Political Action Conference tonight in Orlando, FL. MTG has now joined Paul Gosar in embracing Fuentes. Fuentes claims alt-right troll Milo Yiannopoulos made it happen
More Pence: "The only role of Congress with respect to the Electoral College is to open and count votes
submitted and certified by the states. No more, no less."

alert:
Judge Luttig: “For the two and a half years since Jan. 6, these false claims have corrupted American democracy. They corrupted American elections and they've corrupted the perception of the American people in America herself.”
I was saddened by the President's comments about the election. As an RNC member, I'll fight for my party's candidates anywhere there is evidence of wrongdoing against them. But we cannot undermine our sacred democracy with charges that votes made by mail are somehow "illegal."
WSJ urges GOP to dump Trump: Trump led the GOP to defeats … in 2018, 2020, 2021 and 2022. Add his Covid performance, the Jan. 6 riot, a $5 million civil jury verdict for sexual abuse, plus now a truly stupid alleged Mar-a-Lago coverup…
The RNC has also been one of his enablers since the 2020 election. Their silence at every turn only encouraged Trump's dangerous behavior.

"A party that once portrayed itself as a fierce critic of relativism and a fierce defender of objective truth now delights in debasing words in order to gain and maintain political power. Theirs is the ethic of Thrasymachus..."

Chris Christie SLAMS Donald Trump:
“We can’t pretend that Donald Trump is a man of character. This is a guy who paid off a porn star. This is a guy who has regularly lied...”

knows what it means to take principled stands rooted in substance and policy. He has been a tireless champion for a better direction for the GOP and the country. We’re thrilled to welcome him back to the Summit stage.
Register:
“Not a single swing voter in a single swing state will vote for our nominee if they choose to talk about the 2020 election being stolen,” Ga Gov Brian Kemp told donors in Nashville this AM, per attendee. Did not mention Trump by name but said looking backwards hurt party in Nov.
Not good enough, Mr. President. Time to concede and agree to the peaceful transfer of power which is our great America tradition. RNC Member Bill Palatucci
NEW: Gov. Brian Kemp delivered a scathing rebuke of Donald Trump on Saturday as he urged national Republican leaders to set aside the former president’s obsession with his 2020 election defeat and focus on issues that can attract broader support.
There’s a good deal of angst inside GOP fundraising and digital circles about Trump’s fundraising tactics. Nobody is talking about it publicly though.
@lachlan
and I dig into it.
Mike Pence did not commit treason and this is a very good answer. Support him or don’t for president but to reject him for upholding his constitutional duty (not to mention his honor) is nuts.
Here's another reason no one beats Rep. Chris Smith NJ-4 with his endorsements from State Trooper, PBA, FOP, Firefighters and more.

NBC POLL: "We've got some all-time midterm highs that should serve as red flags for the Democrats."
❌ 71% say we're on the wrong track.
❌ 57% disapprove of Biden on the economy.
❌ 50% say the economy will get worse.
Great ad from the NRCC in NJ-7 focusing on Malinowski's stock sale scandal. $1 million in Covid recovery stocks bought or sold. We flip this seat.

Christie: “It’s time to stop being afraid of any one person. It is time to stand up for the principles and beliefs that we founded this party and this country on. I am ready for that fight.”
My response to Trump's late and inadequate Rose Garden statement on Jan. 6, 2021 remains unchanged. Given what we've learned since only confirms my disgust that day.
Not good enough, Mr. President. Time to concede and agree to the peaceful transfer of power which is our great America tradition. RNC Member Bill Palatucci
3 years later, it's important to remember the 7 Republican senators who put country before party and voted to convict Trump for his actions on January 6.
If only 10 more Republican senators had voted to convict (67 votes needed), we wouldn't be where we are today.
Proud to cast my ballot today. The challenges we are facing require serious leaders who will abide by their oath and uphold the Constitution- no matter what.
Terrible action by the RNC but too few of us in the room to object and stop it. The Resolution we should have considered would commend Mike Pence for standing up for the Constitution and saving the Republic.
Gov. Brian Kemp rejects the idea of calling a special session to oust Fani Willis, and criticizes Trump and his allies for pushing it:
“The bottom line is that in the state of Georgia, as long as I'm governor, we're going to follow the law and the Constitution.”

@RNC
has filed a lawsuit against the Mercer County Board of Elections, alleging that they refused to comply with OPRA requests for ballot cure letters in 2021 general and 2022 primary. They want a judge to compel their compliance with state law.
Clear that Ginny Haines & Jack Kelly win GOP primary for Ocean County Commissioner, and that Monmouth Sheriff Shaun Golden and County Commissioners Tom Arnone and Nick DiRocco also won.
Today we remember Senator John McCain’s lifetime of service to our country. Thank you, Senator McCain. May your exemplary leadership live on to influence the next generation of character-driven leaders.

, one of the state’s leading addiction treatment centers.
This $40 million is on top of the $250 million he raised after the 2020 election for the “election defense fund” that went into his pockets.
Donald Trump is the biggest grifter in the history of American politics.
The broader public hates Donald Trump.
Nominating him and then pretending he’s been cheated when he loses is not a strategy; it’s self-destruction. |

Chris Christie on Donald Trump: "He doesn't believe he won. He was concerned before the election that he was losing. And I know that because he said it to me directly."
A little late with the Birthday wishes to Sec. Kissinger. Had to find the photo where I had the honor of introducing him at a fundraiser for Gov. Christie in 2011.
"He constantly reminded us that there is more that unites us than divides us."
On this day in 2018, Sen. John McCain, who had spent years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam before a 35-year political career, died at the age of 81.
Proud of Rep. Chris Smith. Big primary win and now huge fundraising to seal the deal in November.

@OceanCountyGOP
Chris Smith raises $1.2 million so far. Now he's facing a Democrat who doesn't know how much he's raised
No stranger to public service, Tom Kean has decades of working knowledge in commerce, energy resources, and foreign affairs. I trust that

Chris Christie blasts Vivek Ramaswamy: "Let me tell you something, this is the fourth debate that you would be voted in the first 20 minutes as the most obnoxious blowhard in America. So shut up for a little while."
As this RNC member said on the afternoon of Jan. 6, 2021, "Not good enough, Mr. President." What was needed that day was an acknowledgment of the peaceful transfer of power and now a genuine apology to the American people.
Just spoke to Trump - he tells
@ABC
in a brief phone interview the charges brought by special counsel Jack Smith are “pile on” and called all the recent indictments against him “ridiculous”.
When Larry Sabato moves 11 seats all in favor of the Republicans you get a little sense of how angry people are at big government socialism and woke policies
Trump has now lost 4 races in Georgia in two years. One of his own and 3 by proxy. Similar stories in AZ and PA.
He has a swing-state problem for 2024 that is real.
Again: those who win primaries, and lose general elections, are still losers.
I'm honored to have the
@NJSPBA
endorsement. We need to ensure that our police are fully-funded and that we in the community support their important mission. I am fully committed to leading on behalf of our police in Congress.
