Chris Christie will enter the race as a decided underdog, six years after his 2016 presidential campaign failed to gain traction amid a crowded field
Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, who advised Donald Trump’s White House campaign in 2016 only to become a vocal critic of the former president in recent months, will launch a bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination next week, a person familiar with the matter said.
Christie has urged his party to move on from Trump’s baseless claims that the 2020 election was rigged, including in his book “Republican Rescue.” That stance could theoretically earn him some support from moderate Republicans eager to turn the page, though it will alienate Trump’s still-powerful base of voters.
“As we all know here in New Jersey, the governor is a proven leader who fearlessly tells it like it is,” Bill Palatucci, a longtime Christie advisor who will chair a political action committee supporting his candidacy, wrote in a message to New Jersey Republican state committee members on Tuesday. The nominee would face Democratic President Joe Biden, whose re-election campaign faces no notable intraparty opposition.
Christie’s relationship with Trump and his family has taken a winding path. As the U.S. attorney for New Jersey, he prosecuted Charles Kushner, the father of Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, for tax evasion and other crimes.
