Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) filed paperwork Tuesday to run for president as he looks to take on former President Trump for a second time in 2024.
Christie is the latest Republican to enter the burgeoning 2024 Republican primary field. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.) announced bids to knock Trump off his perch for the GOP presidential nomination last month, and 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 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.
