  • Chris Christie said the "half-full" crowd at CPAC this weekend is a sign of Trump's unpopularity.
  • Christie said Trump may be the GOP's 2024 frontrunner now, but he's not as powerful as he was before.
  • "There are lots of indicators here that he's not what he used to be," Christie said.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said the small crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference this weekend shows how much former President Donald Trump's popularity has waned. 

"You saw the scenes at CPAC, that room was half-full," Christie said during an appearance on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday.
