New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie joked on Monday’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” that he may “go nuclear” during the next GOP presidential primary debate this month.
{mosads}”There was one point where I went 20 questions in a row without being asked a question, and that’s hard,” Christie said on the show, referring to the first debate last month.
“Stay tuned, on September 16, I may be changing tactics,” Christie said. “If I get to, like, 15 questions in a row … you’re gonna go, ‘Uh-oh, he’s going to go nuclear now.'”
Christie is expected to be on the main stage on Sept. 16 in Simi Valley, California, but is fending off a potential challenge from former businesswoman Carly Fiorina, who missed the prime-time spot last time.
The New Jersey governor has so far failed to gain traction for his White House bid, drawing just 2 percent support in a new survey from the left-leaning Public Policy Polling.
