Chris Christie Files to Run for President

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has filed to run for president, becoming the latest Republican contender to join an already-crowded field.

Christie, 60, filed papers with the Federal Election Commission to formally begin his candidacy on Tuesday. Christie served as governor of New Jersey for eight years, from 2010 to 2018, and formerly was a close ally of former President Donald Trump, whom he has since extensively criticized.

Christie last ran for president in 2016, a campaign in which he did not win any primaries or caucuses but attracted attention for his debate performance, with one exchange criticizing Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida for pre-prepared responses to questions garnering acclaim from Republicans. He later endorsed Trump and served as the head of his presidential transition team, though he was removed from the role after the election and passed over by Trump for the vice presidency.
