Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie announced on Wednesday that he is suspending his campaign for president after failing to gain enough traction in New Hampshire where he had staked his entire operation.
Christie, whose campaign centered around attacking former President Donald Trump, made the announcement while speaking to supporters in Windham, New Hampshire.
“I am going to make sure that in no way do I enable Donald Trump to ever be President of the United States again,” Christie said. “And that’s more important than my own personal ambitions.”
The 61-year-old slammed Republican politicians who refused to speak out publicly against Trump as “cowards.” He specifically called out Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) and Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) — both of whom recently endorsed Trump — saying that he knows that both of them know better.
