Chris Christie Announces 2024 Presidential Run
Former New Jersey Governor Enters Race
Christie Launches Campaign with Attack on Trump
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie formally launched his 2024 presidential campaign on June 6, 2023, at an event in Manchester, New Hampshire. The announcement marks Christie's second bid for the presidency, having previously run in the 2016 Republican primaries.
In his speech, Christie criticized former President Donald Trump, calling him "a danger to our democracy." He accused Trump of inciting the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and of undermining trust in the electoral process.
Christie's campaign is widely considered a long shot, but his entrance into the race could have a significant impact on the Republican primary. If Christie can siphon off enough support from Trump, he could potentially prevent the former president from securing the Republican nomination.
