Chris Christie Exits Presidential Race

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is suspending his bid for the 2024 Republican nomination. He made the announcement at a town hall in Windham, New Hampshire on Wednesday afternoon.

Christie said he didn't see a path to the nomination, and spent much of his talk railing against Donald Trump and the current state of the Republican party.

He exits the race five days before the Iowa caucuses where he was averaging about 3% in the polls. He saw his best polling numbers in New Hampshire, home to the first primary on January 23.
