Chris Christie has some thoughts on how Kamala Harris can win over the new voters needed to win in the final stretch before Election Day. But with so much at stake in that moment, Ana Navarro blamed him for giving Trump a pass.

“You spend all this time criticizing Kamala,” Navarro told Christie on the episode of “ The view. “We’re doing something here Charlamagne Tha God spoke yesterday (on CNN). We hold them to this high standard that their closing message has to be this and this and this and that (if Donald Trump’s) closing message Arnold Palmer’s package, Dancing like a crazy person for 39 minutesAnd Making fries at McDonald’s.”

Christie insisted that he was not criticizing Harris and urged Navarro to “open her ears” while reiterating his view that the voters Harris needs to mobilize are not really deciding between her and Donald Trump at this point: “Either they vote for Harris or they don’t vote,” he explained.

“What the vice president does now should be solely focused on closing the deal on why she would be the best president.” Saying that Donald Trump is terrible and a fascist and all that – I don’t agree with any of it – but those people (who believe that) are already sold,” Christie said. “Ten days ago I would have told you she was going to win,” he added. But now the former Trump ally turned critic is worried.

To make his point, Christie pointed to some missteps he said Harris has made so far, such as not giving a clearer answer about what she would do differently than Biden. “She didn’t say it here (on The view)’,” he said. “I watched you that day. When you asked her, “What would you do differently than Biden,” she didn’t say. I have to believe that there are things that she disagrees with him about.” Harris doesn’t need to “blame” Biden to describe “an honest difference of opinion,” he said.

Trump adviser Jason Miller, meanwhile, believes Harris’ answer to that question on the daytime talk show “destroyed her candidacy.”

Christie also said that Harris could have given the “obvious” answer on the border during her CNN Town Hall this week, which he said should have been, “I don’t like the border wall.” But guess what, if I do the border wall give up to get 1,500 more border guards, to get more money to prosecute transnational gangs and do things like that, then I’m willing to do that, because that’s what a president does. They don’t get 100 percent of what they want, they compromise.’”

Then Navarro spoke up and asked Christie to stop. “That sounds like criticism to me,” she said.

Christie replied, “I’m not here to be a cheerleader for them. I’m here to say what she needs to do to get the deal done, based on what I’ve learned over time in politics. She has a chance to rise – and I don’t think (Trump) has a chance.” Citing John Kelly’s would-be bombshell in the New York Times that Trump admired Hitler, who Trump said “did some good things,” Christie said that probably won’t make a difference for Harris.

“I think these Republicans have already figured out that they don’t like (Trump), otherwise – they’re Republicans – they would vote for him,” he said. Rather, “hearing from her” will be the deciding factor.
