Christie made the comments in an interview with Fox News on Sunday. He said he is "going to follow [Trump] around the country. Wherever he goes, I'll go."
Christie's comments come amid growing speculation that Trump may not participate in the upcoming Republican presidential primary debates. Trump has previously said that he does not see the need to debate his opponents, and he has also criticized the moderators of the debates.
Christie's threat to confront Trump is a risky one. Trump is still a very popular figure among Republican voters, and Christie could alienate some of those voters if he goes too far in his criticism. However, Christie is also a very experienced politician, and he may believe that he can take Trump on and win.
It remains to be seen whether Trump will actually participate in the debates. If he does not, it will be interesting to see how Christie follows through on his promise to confront him.
In the interview, Christie said he would confront Trump about his policies, his record, and his fitness for office. He also said he would challenge Trump to defend his decision not to attend the debates.
Christie's comments were met with mixed reactions from other Republican presidential candidates. Some praised him for standing up to Trump, while others criticized him for being too aggressive.
The 2024 Republican presidential primary is still in its early stages, and it is too early to say who will emerge as the nominee. However, Christie's comments suggest that he is willing to take on Trump, and that could make him a more formidable contender.
