Republican 2024 presidential candidate Chris Christie said on Tuesday that then-President Donald Trump declaring victory on election night in 2020 was his breaking point.

“Everyone is going to have their different breaking point, based upon your own sensibilities, your own sense of that choice,” Christie said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. “For me, it was election night 2020 when he stood behind the seal of the president in the East Room of the White House and said the election was stolen at 2:30 in the morning, when not all the votes had even been counted yet. He had no basis to say it.”

The former New Jersey governor declared his challenge to the former president last month and entered the crowded Republican race, arguing that he’s the only one who can stop Trump since his campaign launch.

“When you undercut the American people's belief in democracy from behind the podium at the White House, to me, that was it,” Christie said.

The current front-runner for the GOP nomination refused to accept defeat in 2020 to President Joe Biden and is now facing a criminal investigation into his effort to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results, along with his allies. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis launched an investigation into Trump in early 2021, and a Georgia grand jury is set to consider charges on Tuesday.

Christie, who twice supported and advised Trump ahead of the 2020 election, said there were times when he was “very critical” of him while he was in the White House.

“And believe me, I know I was because I’d get the phone calls in the car on the way back from New York to New Jersey, with him [Trump] yelling at me because I had said something critical on Sunday morning,” Christie said. “So, you know, we all have our breaking points.”
