BREAKING: Chris Christie Officially Suspends His 2024 Republican Presidential Campaign–Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has officially announce that he is suspending his campaign for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
Multiple outlets reported, as the GOP candidate struggles to make inroads in a dwindling field of Republican primary candidates ahead of the Iowa caucuses.
Christie has been under intense pressure to exit the Republican presidential primary race as critics of Donald Trump work to unify behind a viable alternative to the former president.
Christie is scheduled to host a town hall meeting in Windham at 5 p.m., hours before two of his rivals, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, meet for the fifth GOP presidential debate of the 2024 election cycle. It is the only debate that Christie did not qualify for.
The news comes as a surprise, given that Christie had staked the success of his campaign on New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary, which is less than two weeks away. He had insisted as recently as Tuesday night that he had no plans to leave the race, rebuffing growing calls for him to step aside as he continued to cast himself as the only candidate willing to directly take on the former president.
