Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie wasted no time going after Donald Trump while launching his presidential campaign on Tuesday, calling the former president and current Republican primary front-runner a 'lonely, self-consumed, self-serving mirror hog' and arguing that he's the only one who can stop him.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie listens as President Donald Trump speaks during an opioid and drug abuse listening session, Wednesday, March 29, 2017, in the Roosevelt Room of the White House in Washington. Former New Jersey Gov.
Christie enters a growing primary field that already includes Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley and U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina. Former Vice President Mike Pence will be formally launching his own campaign in Iowa on Wednesday. JP Marzullo, a former state representative and former vice chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party, previously backed Trump but is now supporting Christie.
Christie advisers are planning a non-traditional, nationally focused campaign based on earned media attention, instead of focusing on specific states. Their candidate said staying aggressive against Trump was key and scoffed Tuesday at what he said were Trump's failed promises, including a pledge to wall off the entire southern U.S. border and have Mexico pay for it.
