"Fiery GOP Debate: Christie Slams Ramaswamy, Climate Change Denial"

During the GOP presidential primary debate, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie criticized tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, calling him an "amateur" whose answers sounded like they were generated by artificial intelligence. Christie compared Ramaswamy to former President Barack Obama and focused his attack on him instead of targeting frontrunner Donald Trump. This reflects the reality that Trump's lead is so significant that it makes more sense for Christie to go after second-tier rivals first. Ramaswamy, who has seen a rise in support, currently represents the biggest threat to other Trump alternatives in the party.
