At the identical time, Christie mentioned he wouldn’t vote for former President Donald Trump “under any circumstances.”

But when pressed as as to if not voting for Biden would basically assist propel Trump to victory, the previous New Jersey governor disagreed, saying Americans might have a third-party candidate to think about on this election.
