Chris Christie in NH at St. Anselm: "Donald Trump said a couple of weeks ago, I am your retribution.
Guess what everybody? No thanks."
Christie also jabs at DeSantis w/o naming him: Other candidates are gonna try to be Trump-like, they're gonna get thisclose to him but no so bad. Let me tell you something, everybody, he says -- results will be no better than in 2018, 2020 & 2022.
Christie is challenged by audience member: why didn't you do more to stop Trump in 2016? Christie says "We all made a strategic error" not thinking he could win.
He is no holds barred on Trump: "We are the party of me right now. It's about him and nothing else.
You can't win"

More: "Our failure to raise our voice betrayed Black scholars everywhere and those who have long toiled to build this remarkable field...This error triggered a conversation about erasing or eliminating Black thinkers. The vitriol aimed at these scholars is repulsive and must stop
The College Board alleges FL's Dept of Education misrepresented and manipulated its interactions over the course for political reasons. "These phone calls with FDOE were absent of substance, despite the audacious claims of influence FDOE is now making."
