Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, two prominent moderate figures in the Republican Party, both predicted on Sunday that former President Trump could not beat President Biden if they were in a rematch for the White House in 2024.
Both men are facing skepticism from their own parties, with Democrats calling Biden too old to run for reelection and Republicans expressing desire to see another candidate be their Republican Party nominee.
An ABC-Washington Post poll conducted over the last week showed that there was little enthusiasm for a rematch between Trump and Biden, with many voters in both parties hoping for a different choice. Trump is expected to face opposition from a number of other candidates in the Republican Party, but Biden has yet to garner any formal opposition from another Democratic candidate.
Sununu also said “no” when asked on ABC’s “This Week” by co-anchor Jonathan Karl whether Trump could defeat Biden.

Christie also appeared on the show and reiterated the message that Trump cannot beat Biden in a general election.
The former governor has taken that stance multiple times recently, appearing on a variety of shows to claim Trump cannot win.
