The presidential bid is the second for Christie, who lost to Trump in 2016.
Republican former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie kicked off his presidential campaign Tuesday evening, promising to be the only candidate in a crowded GOP primary field willing to directly take onChristie, who also ran for president in 2016, began his bid under the slogan "Because the truth matters" with a town hall in New Hampshire, which holds the nation's first Republican primary following Iowa's leadoff caucuses.
Anti-Trump Republicans are particularly eager to see Christie spar with Trump on a debate stage - if, of course, Trump agrees to participate in primary debates and Christie meets the stringent fundraising criteria set by the Republican National Committee for participation. Christie's campaign will test the appetite among Republican voters for someone who has expressed support for many of Trump's policies but has criticized the former president's conduct. The former governor has rejected Trump's lies that the 2020 election was stolen and has urged the party to move on or risk future losses.
