Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie declared the Trump era over following sweeping midterm losses that handed Congress to Democrats.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie declared the “Trump era is over” following Republicans’ sweeping midterm losses, arguing voters delivered a direct rebuke of GOP governance.

“The Trump era is over,” Christie told the New York Post following an election that handed Democrats control of both chambers of Congress.
