"Chris Christie Drops Out of 2024 Race, Impact on New Hampshire and Potential Senate Run"

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's exit from the 2024 Republican presidential race is expected to benefit Nikki Haley in the New Hampshire primary, with recent polling showing her closing the gap on frontrunner Donald Trump. Christie's departure could potentially hand Haley the lead in New Hampshire, as she has gained significant support from his former backers. Despite Trump's strong national polling, Haley has made gains in recent weeks, positioning herself as a formidable contender in the GOP race.
