Donald Trump’s attack dog Chris Christie has vowed to hunt down the former president if necessary ahead of the 2024 election.
“I’m going to find him,” Christie, the former governor of New Jersey, told Fox News.
Christie has long coveted a showdown with his former friend, but Trump robbed him of the glory by skipping the first 2024 GOP debate in Milwaukee last month.
The 61-year-old is keeping his cards close to the vest, avoiding spilling details about how he plans to track down the 77-year-old former commander-in-chief, who is under surveillance by the Secret Service.
“Watch me,” Christie replied when pressed for specifics.
“You think I’m going to have a hard time finding Donald Trump? You think that within the next few months, I won’t find him and confront him somewhere?”
Back in the 2016 cycle, Christie had a moment of fame during a verbal sparring with Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and has worked hard to improve his debating skills against Trump.
Christie befriended Trump in the early 2000s while serving as US attorney for the District of New Jersey.

After dropping out of the 2016 GOP presidential primary, Christie endorsed Trump and led his transition team.
But since then, the two have vilified each other, with Christie billing his campaign as a crusade to blast through Trump in the Republican primary.
Christie cited his time as a prosecutor and emphasized his ability to find people.
He also declined to say whether he intends to show up at the event and surprise Trump.

Over the weekend on Fox News’ “MediaBuzz,” Christie stated that if Trump continues to leave the GOP debates, he will start following him
“Wherever he goes, I will go. And we will end up talking to each other to each other,” Christie vowed.
The next GOP debate is scheduled for September 27 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. A third debate is expected in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, though details are scarce.
Christie is polling sixth among the 2024 GOP pack with 3.6% support nationally, while Trump is far ahead with 53.6%, according to the latest RealClearPolitics polling aggregate.
