Chris Christie makes 2024 bid against Trump official

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Tuesday filed paperwork to run for president as he looks to take on former President Trump a second time in 2024.
Christie is the latest Republican to enter the burgeoning 2024 Republican primary field. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) announced bids to knock Trump off his perch for the GOP presidential nomination last month while former U.N. Ambassador to the U.S. Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy launched their campaigns earlier this year.
Former Vice President Mike Pence is expected to formally announce a bid on Wednesday in addition to North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum. New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu announced this week that he’s declining a run at the White House.
Christie ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, ending his campaign in February of that year following a disappointing showing in the New Hampshire primary. He placed sixth in the early primary state before he dropped out.
