Chris Christie announces 2024 White House bid: 'Donald Trump made us smaller'

Two-term New Jersey GOP Gov. Chris Christie is running for president with a campaign he promises will undermine former President Donald Trump's front-runner status.

"That's why I came back to St. Anselm's and that's why I came back to Manchester and that's why I came back to New Hampshire — to tell all of you that I intend to seek the Republican nomination for president of the United States," Christie said Tuesday at a New Hampshire town hall.

There is "a big argument" in our country right now about whether character matters as men and women "make the big vs. small decisions," according to Christie.

"Donald Trump made us smaller by dividing us even further. ... Joe Biden is doing the very same thing," Christie said.
