Chris Christie Weighs in on Trump’s Election Remarks: ‘No Basis To Make That Argument’

President Donald Trump suggested he wanted to stop all ballot counting and falsely declared himself the winner in the election, and 👤Chris Christie does not think that was a good call.

Christie said on ABC News early Wednesday that he was speaking as a former U.S. state attorney rather than a former Republican New Jersey governor. He weighed in on Trump’s remarks, saying, “There’s just no basis to make that argument tonight. There just isn’t.”

“All these votes have to be counted that are in now,” Christie continued, adding, “The argument won’t even start in Pennsylvania until tomorrow, or Thursday or Friday.”

Some counties in Pennsylvania stopped counting ballots for the night, as The Hill noted. The ⚖️Supreme Courtallowed Pennsylvania to accept absentee ballots for three days after Election Day.

Christie continued:

“Tonight, this was not the time to make this argument. I disagree with what he did tonight… There comes a point where you have to let the process play itself out before you judge it to have been flawed. And I think by prematurely doing this, if there is a flaw in it later, he has undercut his own credibility in calling attention to that flaw. So I think it’s a bad strategic decision, it’s a bad political decision.”
