BREAKING: Another Republican Enters The 2024 Race Against Donald Trump

On Tuesday, former 2016 presidential candidate and former Governor Chris Christie (R-NJ) officially filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to enter the 2024 race for president.
 

As previously reported by the DC Enquirer, the former governor of the Garden State is 60 years old and this isn't his first bid for the White House. Christie was a candidate for the White House back in 2016 but was upstaged by Donald Trump whom the then-governor dropped out and endorsed. Christie's second and final term as governor ended in 2018. Christie ended up in his post-governor career becoming a lobbyist for a business that took advantage of federal coronavirus aid. 

Christie turned on former President Trump calling him a "coward" and was in favor of his impeachment for the January 6th riot. His campaign will be "focused on New Hampshire", which is an early primary state that has traditionally determined the winner of the Republican primary. Christie's Twitter account is full of critical comments about Trump and the former president's positions. When Trump successfully appeared at a CNN Townhall event, Christie had a lot of opinions to share.

Christie opined that "Donald Trump refused to say tonight that he wanted Ukraine to win the war with Russia. More proof that he continues to be Putin’s puppet."

"Donald Trump says he would end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours tonight on CNN," Christie further emphasized. "Despite how ridiculous that is to say, I suspect he would try to do it by turning Ukraine over to Putin and Russia. #Putin'sPuppet."

Making matters worse for the new 2024 Republican candidate, Christie has made little to no impact in the national polling for the Republican primary. Even 70 percent of New Jersey Republicans won't back their former governor for higher office.
