Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is set to announce his 2024 presidential campaign Tuesday at a town hall in Manchester, New Hampshire, a source confirmed to NBC News.

This marks the second presidential campaign for Christie, who stumbled to a sixth-place finish in the 2016 New Hampshire primary.

Axios was the first to report the timing of Christie's 2024 campaign announcement.

After dropping out of the race eight years ago, Christie, in a then-stunning move, endorsed Donald Trump just days before Super Tuesday, lending a credible name to Trump’s momentum at the time.

I can hardly wait for someone to dig out that photo of him lounging on the beach on Long Beach Island after ordering everyone else off the island for a holiday weekend.

His fifteen minutes expired such a long time ago, but somewhere deep inside, he still thinks he can be relevant.

But for whom?

I wonder if he is going to do this not just to be an antagonist but also places him where -45 can't strong-arm him into his campaign instead. He looked like such a hostage last time he was working with the orange menace.

The MAGAts hate him because he didn't support Chump enough...

But everyone else hates him because he DID support Chump too much.

Hasn't happened yet, so not yet important news of national interest.
