The less well-known Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie is irritated and frustrated.
Despite engaging in a heated verbal confrontation with former President Donald Trump, the polls do not reflect a significant increase in support for the former New Jersey governor. He is currently facing a challenging path with only 2.6 percent of the public backing him.

Tensions escalated during the last GOP primary debate on Wednesday night when moderator Megyn Kelly got into a heated argument with a disgruntled Chris Christie.
The interaction video went viral very fast and attracted a lot of attention. Kelly used the occasion to talk about it in the most recent “The Megyn Kelly Show” episode.
“All over the internet last night was a video that went viral of somebody in the balcony filming Chris Christie coming over to yours truly during a break at the end of the first hour and kind of getting up in my grill,” Kelly said. “And there was all sorts of speculation about what was happening there.
Permit me to tell you what happened at that precise moment. You can be confident that it was not done secretly.
“He was mad that he wasn’t getting enough questions,” Kelly explained. “He said, ‘You know, I made it up on this stage and I haven’t been able to speak in a while and, you know, I should have been brought in on that last debate.’”
“I said, ‘We’re coming to you. You’re going to be happy in the second hour,’ which I lived up to.”
Christie’s high speaking time allotment drew criticism from Kelly, who pointed to his poor polling results as insufficient evidence.

“I’m sorry, Gov. Christie,” Kelly said. “That’s the way it is.”
Kelly cited the CNN report on the allotted speaking times for each candidate in the debate on Wednesday.
- Businessman Vivek Ramaswamy was given 22 minutes to speak.
- Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was given twenty-one minutes.
- Nikki Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, received 17 minutes.
- It was 16 minutes and 52 seconds for Christie.
Remarkably, the times at which the candidates spoke corresponded with their standing in the polls, with the exception of Ramaswamy. Even with 4.7 percent, Ramaswamy came in fourth place, but he spoke the most.
The only GOP primary contenders who even remotely threaten Trump’s lead are DeSantis and Haley. Haley is at 10.9 percent and DeSantis is at 13 percent, making them the only candidates with double digits in the polls.
Christie is currently in fifth place with a far-off 2.6 percent, as was previously mentioned.
With an astounding 61.3 percent of the vote, Trump is currently leading the polls.
Christie doesn’t have what it takes he is running on hatred and its oozing out his mouth and face, if he &Haley loved this country they should drop out and support Trump. the end
