Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is placing nearly all of his chips on New Hampshire as he makes a second run for the Republican presidential nomination
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie returns to New Hampshire on Thursday to formally place his name on the ballot in the state that holds the first primary and second overall contest in the Republican presidential nominating calendar. And for Christie, as he makes his second bid for the White House, it's once again all about New Hampshire.
Christie placed all his chips in his campaign for president eight years ago in the Granite State. However, his campaign crashed and burned after a disappointing and distant sixth-place finish in New Hampshire, far behind Trump, who crushed the competition in the primary, boosting him towards the nomination and eventually the White House.
New Hampshire and South Carolina will be our main focus,' Christie told Fox News Digital in July. 'You’ll see that’s what our travel reflects. I’m sure we’ll go to Iowa at some point, probably for a debate. But I’m going to spend my time here in New Hampshire and down in South Carolina.' Since then, the former governor's been making regular stops in New Hampshire, and this weekend - as his campaign touts - he'll return to South Carolina for his second swing this cycle.
While Christie's campaign wasn't part of the push, the candidate told Fox News that 'we better start expanding the Republican Party and our voters. And I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that as many people in New Hampshire vote as possible who care about the issues we're talking about and want to have their voice heard and have that translate.
