Donald Trump has seemingly found someone new to pick on: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
The billionaire real estate mogul and Republican presidential front-runner took a small dig at his 2016 competitor on Thursday, tweeting out links to recent articles about a new poll showing that the majority of New Jersey voters want their own governor to end his White House bid.
“A great day in New Jersey for Trump!” he wrote, above a photo of a smiling Christie. Up until now, Trump has largely refrained from criticizing the governor, choosing instead to go after his other GOP rivals, including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Marco Rubio of Florida, retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson and ex-Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina.

The Rutgers-Eagleton survey Trump pointed to showed that the majority of Garden State voters—67%–believe Christie should pull the plug on his campaign, while just 27% want to see him run. Meanwhile, Trump was the top pick among New Jersey GOPers with 32% support, an 11 point increase since August.
Although Trump is in the lead in New Jersey, 55% of voters said they had an unfavorable impression of the reality host.
