Chris Christie is going for it again.
."Let me suggest to you that in putting him back in the White House, the reruns will be worse than the original show."
Christie was elected governor of the historically blue state in 2009 and served for two terms, the maximum allowed under term-limit rules. He gained national attention as governor for his connection to the 2013"Bridgegate" scandal, in which commuter lanes were shut down on the George Washington Bridge connecting New Jersey and New York in retaliation against a mayor who refused to back Christie's reelection bid.
Allies of the former governor earlier this week launched a super PAC, Tell It Like It Is, encouraging him to run for president. The PAC and members of its leadership team did not immediately respond to CNBC's requests for comment on Christie's plans. Christie is set to deliver remarks and take questions from an audience at a town hall at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College at 6:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, according to NBC News. Trump hosted a controversial town hall event at the same college weeks earlier.
