Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is a Republican presidential candidate. The 60-year-old Christie has already faced his party mate Donald Trump in 2016.
After withdrawing from the Republican party’s presidential nomination race in 2016, he aligned himself behind Trump. However, when Trump refused to admit that he lost the presidential election to Joe Biden in 2020, Christie turned on him. “Someone who is lonely, hypocritical, selfish and in love with his own reflection is not a leader,” Christie said of the former president Tuesday night when he announced his candidacy.
Christie doesn’t stand a chance. In a poll last month, you commanded 1% of the Republican vote. A majority of conservative voters want Trump to be the presidential candidate. In second place is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, with about 20% of the vote.
The more candidates that come forward, the easier it will be for Trump to pit his opponents against each other, as he did in 2016. Former Vice President Mike Pence ran on Monday, and so did former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley and Senator Tim Scott are running for the Republican nomination.
