Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is expected to announce his 2024 presidential bid next Tuesday in New Hampshire, two people familiar with the former governor’s plans confirmed to CBS News.
Longtime allies of Christie have formed a political action committee to support him, called Tell It Like it Is —it reflects Christie’s direct delivery and persona.
Christie may be the only candidate in the race so far who is willing to openly criticize former President Donald Trump on a regular basis. In April, he dismissed him as “a TV star, nothing more, nothing less.”
“Let me suggest to you that in putting him back in the White House, the reruns will be worse than the original show,” he said at a town hall in New Hampshire, according to the Associated Press,
He has not hesitated to slam Trump on social media — after the CNN town hall with the former president, Christie tweeted, “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.”
The New York Times first reported the formation of the Christie-aligned super PAC. Axios first reported Christie’s plans to run for president.
