Chris Christie was caught on a hot mic Wednesday night, appearing to say that Nikki Haley was going to get “smoked” in the Republican presidential race.
Christie’s comments came while he was offstage before his event in Windham, N.H., where he announced that he was dropping his presidential bid.
A source familiar told NBC News that the Florida governor called Christie earlier today — after hearing rumors that he would be dropping out — and said that regardless of his decision, he appreciated his role in the race.
The source also said Christie went after Haley pretty hard in the conversation, calling her a joke and saying that she has performed terribly and is not up to the task.
Former President Donald Trump’s campaign reveled in the hot mic moment, posting the audio on his Truth Social account and tweeting about it.
Voters have a clear choice in this election: the chaos and drama of the past or a new generation of conservative leadership.
