Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has withdrawn from the 2024 presidential race, making the announcement in New Hampshire. A vocal critic of former President Donald Trump, Christie emphasized his commitment to truth-telling over personal ambition.
He stated, “I would rather lose by telling the truth than lie in order to win,” and expressed his determination to prevent Trump from becoming president again.
Christie’s withdrawal is anticipated to influence the dynamics of the Republican primary, potentially benefiting candidates like former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley. Christie’s departure from the race could consolidate support for other candidates opposing Trump. However, Christie refrained from endorsing any of his former rivals.
