NEW YORK (AP) — Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is set to launch his bid for the Republican nomination for president at a town hall in New Hampshire on Tuesday evening.
The campaign will be the second for Christie, who lost to Trump in 2016 and went on to become a close on-and-off adviser before breaking with the former president over his refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election. He has cast himself as the only candidate willing to directly take on former President Donald Trump.
Christie will enter a growing primary field that already includes Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley and U.S. Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina. Former Vice President Mike Pence will be formally launching his own campaign in Iowa on Wednesday.

Christie has cast himself as the only person with the guts to take on Trump directly and has warned of a repeat of 2016 if candidates fail to confront him.
“I’m not dumb. The way to win is to beat the guy who’s ahead. And so what would a campaign look like? A campaign would look like a direct frontal challenge to Donald Trump trying to return to the presidency,” Christie recently said in a podcast interview.
Anti-Trump Republicans are particularly eager to see Christie spar with Trump on a debate stage — if, of course, Trump agrees to participate in primary debates and Christie meets the stringent fundraising criteria set by the Republican National Committee for participation.
But Christie has also said he would not run as a kamikaze candidate to take down Trump if he didn’t believe there was a viable path to his own victory. “I’m not a paid assassin,” he recently told Politico.

The great thing is, he can go to any beach or pool party and BE the ball.
Snow fat in hell
Christie should run, all right.
Not for President, but for exercise.
Look, he is not going to beat Trump or DeSantis. But I wanna hate the game, not the playa.
Yeah, he's a giant fatass. But in the spirit of sharing, just wanted to note my experience regarding seeing him on the campaign trail. He did a great job--easy to understand, pushed the right buttons, personable, and didn't come off as a pompous jackass.
Again, I don't know why I need the disclaimer, but I just feel I have to. I'm not voting for the guy, but he did impress me out on the stump.
New Hampshire is a relatively small state. How big is their town hall?
Some people have gravitas. Christie has gravity.
I’m pretty much done with the Repukelicking Party.
There are three major political parties: the republicans, the democrats, and Donald Trump.
It's what Free Republic is all about. :)
Hey, you guys, he was A LOUSY GOVERNOR.
We lived in NJ at the time...and THAT’S WHY WE LEFT.
I’m not giving up on Repubs because of THAT FAT LOAD.
I’m not leaving...TELL HIM TO GO.
Did he get the endorsement of the Fey Wray?
Stern launch or side launch?
Gov. Crisco
