Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie wants to run in the 2024 presidential election. The former supporter of ex-President Donald Trump, who has become a harsh critic, submitted the necessary documents for a candidacy to the US Federal Election Commission yesterday, as can be seen on the agency’s website.
The 60-year-old Republican was expected to announce his application at an event in the state of New Hampshire later this evening (local time).
The field of candidates for the Republican primaries for the presidential nomination continues to grow. Former Vice President Mike Pence in the state of Iowa is expected to announce his candidacy today; he submitted his election documents on Monday. The clearly favored Trump had already declared in November that he wanted to retake the White House in the 2024 presidential election.
Outside chances for Christie
Christie is an outsider at best, scoring just 1 percent in the RealClearPolitics.com poll. The former governor of the state of New Jersey, which borders New York (2010 to 2018), had already applied for the Republican candidacy in the 2016 primaries. But he got out of the race early and then became the first prominent supporter from the party establishment to support the eventual primary winner Trump.
