Chris Christie labels Vivek Ramaswamy an ‘amateur’ in heated GOP debate

Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie did not hesitate to address newcomer Vivek Ramaswamy’s attitude during the first 2024 GOP presidential debate

Christie told the Milwaukee audience, “I’ve had enough already tonight of a guy who sounds like Chat GPT.”

He then went on to compare Ramaswamy to President Barack Obama by calling him “the same type of amateur.”

Ramaswamy, an avid Trump supporter, is currently on the rise in the polls.
