Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is expected to enter the 2024 presidential race, according to a source close to Christie.
Christie will announce at a town hall event at St. Anselm College in Manchester, N.H. on Tuesday. New Hampshire prides itself on its ‘first in the nation’ status for presidential primaries and remains the first primary election in the Republican calendar. Iowa is the first voting contest for Republicans when it holds it caucuses in early 2024.
Christie has spent a notable amount of time in New Hampshire leading up to his event.
Christie first ran for president in 2016, arguing he was a candidate who would “tell it like it is.” But that message was drowned out by eventual Republican nominee Donald Trump. Christie dropped out of the 2016 race after a disappointing sixth-place showing in New Hampshire.
