JUST IN: Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has filed to run for president in 2024. An outspoken Trump critic, he hopes to secure the GOP nomination.
His Tuesday evening announcement will come a day after fellow GOP moderate Chris Sununu, the governor of New Hampshire, opted against running and less than 24 hours before former Vice President Mike Pence officially enters the race. Like in 2016, Christie will seek to appeal to more traditionally conservative, establishment-friendly Republicans – and hope that he can emerge as a foil to Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a rapidly growing field.
He was floated as a potential appointment to a number of administration jobs, though none ever materialized. He even participated in mock debates with Trump in 2020. Following Trump’s defeat and subsequent attempt to overturn the 2020 election, Christie turned on him and sought to establish himself as one of Trump’s chief Republican critics. “We keep losing and losing and losing,” Christie said at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual leadership conference late last year.
