Chris Christie to Announce Presidential Run Next Week at New Jersey High School: Sources
By Brian Thompson
Updated 5 minutes ago
Gov. Chris Christie will announce his presidential campaign next week at his high school alma mater, sources close to the campaign confirm to NBC 4 New York.
The New Jersey governor plans to announce his candidacy at an event at Livingston High School -- where Christie was once class president -- on Tuesday, the sources say.
Christie has been widely expected to join the increasingly crowded field of Republicans seeking the party's nomination, and was at one time considered a 2016 front-runner. Thirteen candidates, including former New York Gov. George Pataki, have already announced campaigns.
Christie had been a popular figure both in his home state and nationally thanks to his brash demeanor and actions in the wake of Sandy in 2012, but his approval ratings have dropped in the wake of the George Washington Bridge lane closure scandal last fall. Christie was never implicated in the traffic-jamming political payback scheme, but two of his top aides were arrested in the aftermath of the scandal.
