Chris Christie, a former governor of New Jersey, is running for president in 2024 with one goal: torpedo Donald Trump's candidature. However, his lack of favorability among Republicans may hamper his attempts to launch a direct assault.

Seven years ago, his unsuccessful campaign for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016 featured explosive exchanges on the debate stage, dismal voting outcomes, and a startlingly early support of Mr. Trump.
Now, Mr. Christie has knocked the front-runner down a notch in order to establish himself as the victor.
According to Republican strategist and former party communications director Doug Heye, "Trump will face a lot of opposition." Everyone will attempt to remove Andre the Giant from the ring during the battle royal.
He claims that would cause the entire leadership campaign to be restarted.
Although Mr. Christie officially submitted the necessary papers for his presidential run on Tuesday, the fiery New Jerseyan is starting this campaign in last place.
Only Mr. Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis have widespread support among the contenders who have been officially named so far. A nationwide Republican survey conducted by Fox News and released last week found that less than 1% of respondents supported Mr. Christie. He received 2% in a Quinnipiac poll. Over 30% of the field was behind Mr. Trump in each.
Mr. Christie will need to use the few possibilities available to him in order to alter this dynamic. The Republican presidential debates that will start in late August are the most notable.
What follows is what?
- In the upcoming months, candidates for the Republican nomination will start their campaigns and hold a series of TV debates.
- Next February, each state's primary elections will take place.
- At the Republican Convention in the summer of 2024, the candidate with the highest support will be named the winner.
- The general election in November 2024 seems to pit the nominee against Democrat Joe Biden.
