Unlike Mr. Trump, who has posited that he feels like “Superman” and left the hospital as quickly as possible, Mr. Christie said that the virus is “something to take very seriously. The ramifications are wildly random and potentially deadly.”

In the interview, Mr. Christie did not directly fault Mr. Trump, who has been dismissive about mask wearing and said catching the virus was “a blessing from God” after being released from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Mr. Christie did say he had a false sense of safety by the fact that everyone around the president was required to be tested each day, including everyone in the debate sessions.

“I don’t know who infected me and I don’t know how frequently he was tested,” he said of Mr. Trump. While aides have left the impression publicly that Mr. Trump was tested daily, the president himself has acknowledged he was not.

Mr. Christie said that even at the event for Ms. Barrett on Sept. 26, “I was put in the third row, and what they told us was that everybody in the first three rows had been tested that day and tested negative.”

“I shouldn’t have relied on that,” he said.
