Chris Christie – an outside political adviser to President Trump – made a pitch on Friday to move up the date of the presidential debates between Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden. “I think the president would love to have more debates if they could figure out the timing,” Christie said in an interview with The Washington Post. “A lot of people are going to start voting before September 29, the idea that they would not have seen one presidential debate by then, to me, seems ridiculous. In Friday's interview, Christie also took aim at Steve Bannon, saying he hopes the president doesn’t bring Bannon back to the Trump campaign. Christie – who ran unsuccessfully for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination before suspending his campaign and endorsing Trump – didn’t rule out another run for the White House in 2024.
