Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Tuesday said he’s considering a third presidential run in 2028 as the Republican Party faces a bleak midterm outlook.
Christie, a onetime Trump ally who ran against him for the GOP nomination in 2024, questioned whether the party will decide it needs to change its approach or “the dominant wing” of the party, “if we do a lot of losing six weeks from today.”
“So, am I looking at it? Look, anybody who comes up here, anybody who comes up here and has ever run for president and not one and told you they’re not looking at it again is lying. …,” he said at the Granite State Summit on Responsible Gaming, per footage shared by WMUR 9’s Adam Sexton.
He added, “Once you go through the thought process of convincing yourself that you can be president, and then the next step that you should be president, that doesn’t leave your brain.”
“So, the way I look at this is, if I’m going to go back home to my wife and say, ‘I know you may not believe this, but third time is the charm,’ like, I better have a real theory,” the former governor continued. “And what she has said to me is, ‘Chris, I want to see the path.'”
Democrats are now favored to win the House and, more narrowly, the Senate this fall, according to the latest forecasts from Decision Desk HQ — amid problematic approval numbers for the president and growing voter anger over the economy under a Republican-led Washington.
As Trump serves out his second term, attention has already turned to 2028 as both major parties search for their next standard-bearer.
Vice President Vance has long been seen as the GOP heir apparent, and generated buzz when he gave a closing-night address to the Republican National Committee’s midterm convention earlier this month. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also seen his stock rise, and Trump has appeared to float both men for the post in the past.
Christie, who ran in 2016 and 2024, has long declined to rule out another bid, saying that he’ll wait to see the 2026 results before deciding whether to enter the ring.

Lemme guess...the Green Party nominee.
Chris Christie isn’t going to “Run” anywhere except to his local Golden Corral
No he will uber
I would think that any form of “running” would be beyond Christie’s capacity.
Wouldn’t mind a bit seeing Christie utterly humiliated in the primaries.
Go for it chump. Give us something to laugh at. He will expose plenty of confused trolls.
Chris Christie running as what, a Democrat?
He must be getting low on pocket money again.
“Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose.”
(the more things change, the more they remain the same!).
Christi should just go back to laying out on the beach like a beached whale.
A true 1%er
William Howard Taft 2.0. Get the chainsaw out to get him out of the tub.
Chris Christie vs. JB Pritzker. It’d be like a sumo match, a couple of diaper-clad behemoths.
He must have a book to sell.
The Fast Food Party.
As usual.
What a fat pig, that Christie!
I hope this is true, we need more laughter. An oldie but a goodie. Christie Dad dancing.
