Former Republican Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey said his trip on Monday to New Hampshire, the state that holds the first primary and votes second overall in the GOP presidential nominating calendar, will help him decide whether to "get into the battle" and launch a 2024 GOP presidential campaign.
Christie said that a key to that decision will be whether he sees a pathway to victory over former President Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Christie will headline a town-hall style event Monday evening at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics, which for over two decades has been a must-stop for actual or potential White House contenders from both major parties. Word of the town hall and a dinner later in the evening with close friends and supporters in the Granite State was first reported earlier this month by Fox News.

Christie told Fox News Digital ahead of his trip that he plans "to go up there and talk to people in New Hampshire — who I know are the best-informed voters in the country about things that I think are important in the world and in our country right now — and to see how they react to that, and see that what they think about things that I think are important."
When asked if a positive response from voters will further encourage him to run again for the White House, Christie said "there’s no question that if you find that you’re connecting with people that makes you more encouraged to want to get out there and try to get into the battle."

ROTFLMAO! Not for Christie!
God save us from people whose highest ambition in life is to be the apex politician.
One thing’s for sure. For that guy it isn’t going to be the narrow path.
Certainly not by this fatazz.
He’s kinda wide for most pathways. I don’t think he could fir through a pathway that led through an MTA turnstile.
He certainly “outweighs the competition”...LMAO
Why is this chunky asshat on tv every Sunday?
Chris,
Run for dog catcher.
haha
The only way Christie is going to get Trump and DeSantis to go away is if he swallows them whole.
So now this idiot thinks he’s a kingmaker?
Self-delusion is a powerful aphrodisiac, exacerbated by donut overload.
Wafer thin mint?
If there is it’s not Chris Christie.
I bet Freepers can help him make that decision in a record amount of time.
It’s a small State, I’m worried it could tip over.
C.C. (Obama) rider
Do ANY of these people (such as Christie and Nikki Haley) have ACTUAL JOBS or do they just engage in PERPETUAL GRIFTING?
Pathway????? He needs a two lane highway.
