Chris Christie in ABC This Week interviews for 2023 races


On Principles & Values: America didn't become great by pulling up the drawbridge

America has never been a great country and the leader of the world by filling in the moat and pulling up the drawbridge. You know, we need to make sure that we're engaged. Because, believe me, this is the first fight in the proxy war with China. But in the end, at the end of this sacrifice, I am absolutely a believer in the fact that America will be bigger, stronger, richer and more influential in the world because we stood by our principles and stood by our friends.

On War & Peace: If Russia wins they'd soon cross border requiring US troops

We're there because it's in our national interest to give the Ukrainian military the ability to rebut and defeat Russian aggression. Because if Russia overran Ukraine, I have no doubt, that it wouldn't be too long before they crossed a border where American servicemen and women would be required to go and fight.

On Foreign Policy: Aid to Ukraine degrades Russian army; sends message to China

I still absolutely believe, both from what've seen in polling and what I'm experiencing anecdotally, that a majority of Republicans want us to be supporting Ukraine because those folks are fighting for their own freedom, their own liberty, and they're degrading the Russian army and sending a message to the Chinese. Those are all good things for America.
