Christopher James "Chris" Christie (born September 6, 1962) is an American politician. In 2010, he became the 55th Governor of New Jersey. He was the first Republican to win a statewide election in New Jersey in 12 years. He left the office on January 16, 2018.
Some people thought Christie was a leading candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination in 2016.[1][2][3] He announced his presidential campaign on June 30, 2015. After poor polling numbers and not winning the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries, Christie suspended his campaign on February 10, 2016. On July 12, 2016, it was reported that Christie was on Trump's three-person shortlist to be his running mate in the general election.[4] On July 14, 2016, the Trump campaign announced that Governor of Indiana Mike Pence would be Trump's running mate. In March 2017, it was announced Christie was to chair the Trump administration's Opioid and Drug Abuse Commission.[5]
In June 2023, Christie announced his second presidential campaign for the 2024 election.[6] He ended his campaign in January 2024.
