Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie faced a chilly response Friday while discussing his second presidential bid at the annual Faith and Freedom Coalition conference, where numerous 2024 hopefuls are taking the stage this weekend. 

Some in the audience booed when Christie explained why he was running after previously supporting former President Trump.

"I’m running because [Trump’s] let us down. He has let us down because he’s unwilling — he’s unwilling to take responsibility for any of the mistakes that were made. ... That is a failure of leadership," Christie said.

As boos were heard from the crowd, Christie responded, "You can boo all you want."

Some in the crowd cheered as Christie went on to talk about responsibility: "Our faith teaches us that people have to take responsibility for what they do. People have to stand up and take accountability for what they do[.]"

As The Hill's Caroline Vakil noted, the response underscores "the difficulty anti-Trump candidates like Christie may have among Republican primary voters largely still loyal to Trump."

Other GOP hopefuls who spoke at the event Friday included former Vice President Mike Pence, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. 

Former President Trump is scheduled to speak at the Faith and Freedom Coalition event Saturday night.

President Biden issued an executive order aimed at increasing access to contraception and family planning on Friday, a day before the anniversary of Roe v. Wade's overturning. The order will be "the administration’s only policy response to mark the anniversary," The Hill's Nathaniel Weixel reported.

The order directs the heads of the Treasury, Labor, and Health and Human Services departments to consider new actions, including ensuring private health insurance covers more forms of contraception.

More from Weixel: "In all 50 states, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) guarantees coverage of women’s preventive services, including free birth control and contraceptive counseling. There are 18 contraceptive methods approved by the FDA, but the law requires insurers to cover only one product per category."

Topping off a week of governmental moves regarding artificial intelligence (AI) regulation, Sens. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Gary Peters (D-Mich.) sent a letter to the Government Accountability Office (GAO) requesting it review potential harms of generative AI.

Earlier this week, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced a framework he said would promote both AI safeguards and innovation, along with a series of upcoming forums with experts.
