Chris Christie says Biden is 'not capable of running a traditional American race' in 2024: 'He's old. He's boring.'
  • Chris Christie blasted President Biden's reelection plans on Sunday, calling him "old" and "boring."

  • "In the end, Joe Biden is not an exciting candidate. And the American people are not relating to him," he argued.

  • Biden is set to announce his 2024 reelection campaign in the coming months.

Former New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie on Sunday was critical of President Joe Biden's expected 2024 reelection bid, arguing that the commander-in-chief is "old" and "not an exciting candidate."

During a panel discussion on ABC's "This Week," Christie — who has slammed Biden on everything from his handling of the economy to his foreign policy worldview — said he felt that Americans were having a difficult time connecting with the president.

"In the end, Joe Biden is not an exciting candidate. He's old. He's boring. And the American people are not relating to him," the former governor said.

Christie said that the unique characteristics of the 2020 presidential election — during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic — were a "gift" to the now-president as Trump had increasingly become a toxic figure among Independents and suburban votes.

The ex-governor, who saw his own presidential chances collapse at the hands of Trump during the 2016 Republican primaries, said that the pandemic shielded Biden from having to appear before the public on a daily basis.
