Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said that it would be “stressful” if he and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush became competitors in the 2016 GOP presidential primary.
“It would be stressful because I consider Jeb a friend. And he’s been a wonderful friend to me,” Christie said on his Ask the Governor radio program on Tuesday, according to CNN. “You like to run against people that you don’t like,” Christie added.
Bush began seriously considering a 2016 run for the presidency after Christie’s “Bridgegate” scandal, and both men would court the same Wall Street donors and compete for the same voters on the moderate establishment side of the presidential primary bracket.
