Christie's comments come as the 2028 presidential election heats up, and he's not the only one considering a run. We dive into the current state of the Republican Party and what it means for the future of the country. From the impact of the current administration's policies to the potential for new candidates to emerge, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in politics.
