Chris Christie Stands Firm in Anti-Trump Message Despite Boos

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie defended himself after being booed at a conservative conference for criticizing former President Donald Trump, saying "they need to hear the truth too, that character is the single most important element of a president of the United States." Christie also criticized Trump's recent remarks at the conference and warned against the Republican Party going to a fourth loss. A recent NBC News poll found that 51% of Republican primary voters are choosing Trump as their first choice for the GOP nomination.

Chris Christie faces backlash for anti-Trump message at religious conservative conference.

Despite being booed at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s annual conference, Chris Christie believes his anti-Trump messaging is resonating with voters, pointing to polling that shows him ahead of other long-shot candidates in New Hampshire. Christie, who endorsed Trump in 2016, has since become his chief detractor in the 2024 GOP primary. He attacked Trump for remarks he made at the conference and criticized him for taking sensitive intelligence and secret documents out of the White House. Christie said he expected to hear some boos from the predominantly Trump crowd.

Trump Receives Cheers for Abortion Stance at Faith & Freedom Conference

Donald Trump spoke at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s annual conference, touting his appointment of three conservative Supreme Court justices and claiming credit for the Dobbs abortion ruling. He received a warm welcome from evangelical voters and used his speech to touch on a range of issues, including election security, transgender issues, and foreign policy. While some attendees expressed concerns about his messaging and wished he would focus more on policy, others praised him for delivering on his promises regarding abortion. Some attendees cautioned against Trump backing a national 15-week abortion ban, warning it could hurt his chances with minority voters.

Trump's Fiery Speech at Faith and Freedom Conference: Abortion and Presidential Power Dominates

Former President Donald Trump received wild applause as the keynote speaker at the Faith and Freedom Coalition conference of politically conservative evangelical leaders. He touted himself as the most pro-life president in American history and promised to appoint rock-solid conservative judges if he wins the election in 2024. Over 50 speakers took the stage, including nearly a dozen Republican presidential candidates, but none garnered as much enthusiasm from the crowd as any speaker who merely mentioned Trump's name.

Trump doubles down on support for national abortion restrictions.

Donald Trump endorsed the idea of national abortion restrictions at the Faith and Freedom Coalition's policy conference, marking the one-year anniversary of the end of Roe v. Wade. He did not endorse any specific anti-abortion legislation or time limits but said "there of course remains a vital role for the federal government in protecting unborn life." Trump also spent much of his speech asking supporters to stick with him in the face of criminal indictments and investigations. Other presidential candidates, including Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, and Mike Pence, made only glancing references to their differences with Trump, while Chris Christie criticized him.

Chris Christie Booed for Criticizing Trump at Conservative Event

Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie was booed by supporters of former President Donald Trump at a gathering of religious conservatives in Washington as he attacked Trump's character and accused him of a "failure of leadership." Christie, who is among a half-dozen GOP presidential aspirants, sought to elevate the issue of "character" during his remarks, telling the audience that leaders need to concede mistakes. The episode underscored how Christie is trying to position himself as a bare-knuckled brawler best equipped to take the fight to Trump, as well as the challenge that poses in winning over voters still fond of the former president.

"2024 GOP Candidates Rally for Evangelical Support with Anti-Abortion Stance"

Former Vice President Mike Pence called on his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination to support a 15-week federal abortion ban at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s annual conference. Pence was among a number of 2024 Republican presidential hopefuls to speak at the conference, all emphasizing their anti-abortion credentials. The exhortation amounted to a challenge for the GOP front-runner, Donald Trump, who has been reluctant to endorse a federal abortion ban.

The enduring influence of evangelicals in GOP politics.

The enduring influence of evangelicals in GOP politics.

Evangelical conservatives gathered at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority conference in Washington to hear from their flawed partner, Donald Trump, who is the dominant frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination. Ralph Reed, founder and chairman of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, is debating whether the deal with Trump was worth it and whether they should renew the contract. Evangelicals overwhelmingly backed Trump in the 2016 and 2020 elections, and he delivered more policy victories for them than any other president. The question now is what evangelicals will do in the 2024 Republican presidential primary.
