"Chris Christie's Defining Moment: The Highlight of the Final GOP Primary Debate"

During the recent GOP debate, Chris Christie assumed the role of moderator and asked whether Donald Trump should be president again, to which the other candidates, Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, and Vivek Ramaswamy, avoided answering. Christie pointed out the serious criminal charges against Trump and accused his competitors of making excuses and pretending he's a victim. The lack of objection to Christie's characterization reveals the Republican Party's position on Trump and highlights the primary as both a matter of substance and a horse race. Haley, despite her mini-surge in the polls, did not press a case against Trump, potentially signaling her implicit support for his nomination.
