Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is taking a swipe at Ron DeSantis, saying the Florida governor isn’t dealing with Disney like a “conservative” in a potential preview of sniping in the 2024 presidential primary.
Mr. Christie, a Republican who spoke to the Semafor news outlet, said Mr. DeSantis was overstepping in his feud with the theme-park behemoth. The fight stretches back to Disney’s criticism of a Florida education bill last year.
“To me, that’s what I always thought liberals did, and now here we are participating in this with a Republican governor,” Mr. Christie said.Mr. Christie hasn’t joined the 2024 Republican field, but he has signaled that he’s considering it. His latest comments show he is willing to take on Mr. DeSantis, too. The Florida governor hasn’t joined the race but is expected to launch a bid and be Mr. Trump’s main rival for the Republican nomination.
