In the book Christie addresses different conspiracy theories, including one Trump often touts: that the 2020 election was "stolen"; Christie stated the 2020 election was in fact not stolen.[1] In an interview, Nicolle Wallace criticized Christie for not including a critique of Fox News in his book.[2]

Christie was interviewed on NPR by host Don Gonyea for its release.[3]

Reception

edit

The book was termed a "colossal flop" by Press Run, having sold 2,289 copies in the first week of its release.[4]

Insider NJ columnist Fred Snowflack stated, "Political junkies in New Jersey will enjoy reading this book, but the key question remains. Do a majority of Republicans really want to move on from Donald Trump? As Christie puts it, look forward, not backward. As of now, that seems doubtful."[5]
