Chris Christie set to launch 2024 presidential campaign next week.

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is set to announce his bid for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination next week, according to sources. Christie, who also ran in 2016, will make the announcement during a town hall event at St. Anselm College. His campaign will be led by long-time aides Maria Comella and Mike DuHaime. Christie's bid comes as an increasing number of GOP hopefuls seek to challenge former President Donald Trump's front-runner status. Christie has criticized Trump's policies and character, claiming he is "afraid" to debate serious candidates.
