"He hasn't stood up to anyone except for the people in his own party who nominated him," Christie told ABC's "This Week" on Sunday.
"It's the death of 2020 Joe Biden, when he went to the Hill – 2020 Joe Biden is now officially dead and buried. The guy who ran against the progressives, ran against Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, ran to be a uniter in this country, ran saying he was going to force compromise. And he went up to Capitol Hill, and he capitulated to the progressives, the liberals in his party."
Christie's comments come as Biden says he is "frustrated" by Democrats suggesting excessive spending in the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill signed by Senate Budget Committee Chairman Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., an avowed Democratic-socialist.

Christie said the resistance from Republicans in Congress is not even required now, because Democrats' infighting is hitting the massive spending agenda for them.
"I had a political science professor in college who told me, 'when your adversary's in the midst of committing suicide, there's no reason to commit murder'; the result is the same," Christie told a panel discussion. "And that's what's happening with Democrats right now."

Christie also took a lead at Biden for not facing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
“And why should we be surprised? He couldn't stand up to the Taliban. How could we expect him to stand up to AOC?” he added, referring to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), before “This Week” co-anchor Jonathan Karl called his comments a “partisan take.”

Christie’s remarks come as Democratic House leadership last week could not set a vote on the $1.2 trillion bipartisan bill already enacted by the Senate. Progressives have suggested that they would tank the bill if the $3.5 trillion reconciliation package filled with Democratic advantages was not established in tandem with the infrastructure bill.

Nonetheless, moderate Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) have stated that they do not approve of the reconciliation’s current price tag, and Manchin said he would favor a $1.5 trillion price tag instead.
Biden went to Capitol Hill on Friday to try to calm down the situation between members in his party, though his attempts to unify Democrats pretty much failed.

The failure to bring the bipartisan infrastructure legislation for a vote showed to be a win for progressives, though in a “Dear Colleague” letter on Saturday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) backed the decision to delay the vote, saying “more time was needed to reach our goal of passing both bills, which we will.”
