Republican U.S. presidential candidates participate in their fourth debate of the 2024 U.S. presidential campaign in Tuscaloosa, Alabama
TRENTON, NJ (OP-ED) – As Robert F. Kennedy Jr. surprised the political world by suspending his independent presidential campaign and endorsing Donald Trump, one thing became crystal clear: absolutely no one was eagerly awaiting former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie’s take on the matter. Despite Christie’s long history in politics, including two failed bids for the presidency, his opinion on this latest development seems to be of little interest across the political spectrum.
RFK Jr.’s decision to back Trump has already stirred reactions from various corners—his own family called the move a “betrayal,” while Trump’s camp welcomed it as a boost in battleground states.
But amidst this political drama, Christie’s potential commentary feels more like background noise from an angry ex-girlfriend, than headline news.
Christie, who once ranked among the governors with the lowest approval ratings in history in New Jersey, has struggled to maintain political relevance after his failed presidential campaigns and his controversial exit from New Jersey politics.
He now slings mud for ABC News as a political correspondent occasionally.
While Christie has been vocal in criticizing Trump, particularly over what he sees as Trump’s damaging leadership style, his critiques have largely fallen on deaf ears within the Republican Party. This latest political twist involving RFK Jr. seems to be just another event where Christie’s voice is neither sought after nor missed.
The political discourse continues without him, with both Republicans and Democrats focusing on the implications of RFK Jr.’s unexpected move rather than any input from Christie. In a rapidly evolving political landscape, where every endorsem*nt and withdrawal can shift the dynamics, Christie remains a sidelined figure—one whose thoughts on the matter are simply not on anyone’s radar
- 2016 ‘Trump Sucks’ Streaker Now Riding the Trump Train
It looks like VitalyTheGoat, aka Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, has done a complete 180 when it comes to his political stance! The famous prankster and social media personality, known for his wild stunts like streaking the NBA Finals back in 2016 with "Trump sucks" painted on his chest, has officially switched sides.
In a tweet that’s making waves, Vitaly revealed that he used to be a hardcore "Never Trumper," but now, he’s all in for Trump 2024. He admits that living in LA had him believing the narrative that Trump was a racist, but after seeing the former president's policies in action, especially on issues like strong borders, low crime, and economic growth, he’s had a change of heart.
Vitaly’s message to his followers? Don’t be afraid to speak your mind and support what you believe in. And for him, that means endorsing Trump as the only man capable of leading the country in the right direction.
His transformation is just another example of how perspectives can shift over time, especially in a politically charged environment. As we head into the 2024 election, it’s clear that the battle lines are being drawn, and Vitaly has firmly planted his flag on Team Trump.
- Aggressive Protester Stopped by Police as He Rushed Toward Stage at Trump Pennsylvania Rally
It was supposed to be just another rally for former President Donald Trump in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, but things took a wild turn when a protester attempted to charge the stage while Trump was speaking. The intense moment shocked the crowd, with many pointing fingers at the increasingly heated political climate.
As Trump addressed the audience, a leftist protester broke through the crowd and made a beeline for the stage. Fortunately, security acted quickly, intercepting the individual before they could get too close to the former president.
The incident left supporters rattled but also more determined than ever, with many taking to social media to express their concerns about what they see as the dangerous rhetoric from the left, fueling such acts of aggression against Trump.
This incident has reignited debates over the role of political rhetoric in today’s America, with some Trump supporters directly blaming figures like Vice President Kamala Harris for what they describe as a culture of hostility. They argue that fiery language from political leaders has emboldened individuals to take extreme actions, putting public figures at risk.
Last month, Trump survived an assassination attempt.
"May God protect President Trump," wrote one supporter on Twitter, echoing the sentiments of many who were shaken by the event.
While Trump continued his speech undeterred, the moment served as a stark reminder of the unpredictable nature of today’s political landscape. For his supporters, it was a rallying cry to stand firm, and for others, a call to reflect on the current state of political discourse in America.

The game, which saw the Tech Bulldogs narrowly edge out Lenape High School with a 14-10 victory, ended in chaos as gunfire erupted shortly after 7:30 p.m. The victims, a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old, were rushed to St. Joseph's University Medical Center.

Authorities acted swiftly, and two suspects were apprehended at the scene, with a weapon reportedly recovered.
