OPINION — EDITORIAL

There is a move currently underway to try and rehabilitate former Governor Chris Christie & State Senator Jon Bramnick as the solution to Republican electoral problems in New Jersey. It’s laughable.

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie

Here are the facts:

  • At of the end of Governor Christie’s two terms in office, (January 2018), Christie held a historically low approval rating.
  • Christie's approval rating was between 15 to 16 percent, with a more than 75% job disapproval rating.
  • Christie had achieved the lowest job approval rating of any Governor in any state in America in more than 20 years.

Obviously, when your approval rating dips below 20 percent, there is also significant disapproval from your own political party.

Christie Has Two Failed Campaigns For President of The United States

The citizens have viewed Christie as willing to take any political policy position in order to run for President.

Christie has never gained traction for a national campaign for President of The United States.

When Christie went from enthusiastic Trump supporter… To hyper negative critic, his political decline was cinched.

Christie’s Disloyalty & Criticism Of President Trump

For strategic, self-serving reasons, Christie has turned hyper-negative against President Trump. It has lost him most of his Republican political support.

Bramnick has been anti-Trump, just like Christie for many years.

Bramnick ran for Governor of New Jersey in 2025 as a vocal, unapologetic anti-Trump Republican.

In the Republican Primary of 2025, Bramnick ran against:

  • Jack Ciattarelli
  • Bill Spadea
  • Mario Kranjac
  • Justin Barbera

Bramnick performed poorly in the 2025 Republican Primary election, receiving about 6 percent of the vote.

In his spare time, Bramnick is actually a stand-up comedian. It’s good to know that Bramnick is comfortable with laughing at himself.

Both Christie & Bramnick

Are unpopular Republicans in New Jersey. They are not the solution to any current Republican electoral problems in New Jersey.
