He had already applied for it in 2016, but was defeated by the later President Donald Trump.

“Donald Trump made us smaller”
The 60-year-old attacked the ex-president directly in his speech: “Donald Trump has made us smaller by dividing us even further and playing one group once morest another every day.” Trump is obsessed with the mirror, never admits a mistake, always blames someone else for mishaps, and always wants to take credit for everything that goes well, Christie said. Trump commented on Christie’s speech on his Twitter replacement Truth Social as “boring” – it was difficult to bear.
Christie also criticized that there are applicants for the candidacy who “say that we shouldn’t care regarding what’s happening in Ukraine”. Those politicians said Americans shouldn’t care “that Russia wants to bring back a free and freedom-loving country under its thumb,” complained Christie, who detailed US history in his speech.
