Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says he would “bet about five bucks” on Vice President Kamala Harris to win the presidential election.
“I’d bet about five bucks on Harris today. For a guy from New Jersey, that’s not a lot of conviction,” Christie told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.
Christie also expressed skepticism that former President Donald Trump would accept the results of Tuesday’s election.
“In terms of Trump accepting the results of the election if he loses, George, I’d just ask Reince [Priebus], what’s the evidence that he will? He never has. And so, all of a sudden now he’s going to get religion and accept them if he loses? I don’t think that’s the case,” he argued.
“Now, I don’t think it’ll matter nearly as much as it did four years ago because he’s not the president. And so, his influence on what will happen post-election is significantly less now than it was four years ago.”
“But you asked about conviction early on, and I realize I didn’t answer,” concluded Christie. “I bet about five bucks on Harris today. For a guy from New Jersey, that’s not a lot of conviction.”
