What are the odds that Chris Christie will try to run for the Menendez Senate seat as plan B? [View all]

[AdamGG]

Democrats will hopefully get a strong candidate in place for the NJ Senate seat quickly. Although I've enjoyed watching him bash Dump, I've always hated Chris Christie. He knew what Trump was when he worked to get him elected in 2016 and 2020. But, Christie is shrewd and opportunistic and must see the NJ Senate seat as an opportunity.

There's very little chance that he can get the Republican Presidential nomination and he must realize that. He may do well enough in the NH primary that he hangs in the Presidential race until Super Tuesday. Would it be too late then for him then to shift to being a Senate candidate? The Republicans may see him as their best chance to pick up the seat and be motivated to keep the spot open for him.
