Chris Christie is considering a 2028 presidential run but says he will wait to see how Republicans fare in November before deciding. He said heavy losses could prompt the party to change its approach, a factor in his assessment of whether he has a path to win.
Christie finished sixth in New Hampshire’s 2016 primary and dropped out of the 2024 race five days before the Iowa caucuses. He said he would need a convincing reason to believe a third campaign could succeed; he recalled his wife telling him she wanted to see a path.
Christie said he is in no hurry and could make a final decision in 2027. He is also raising money for New Jersey Republican candidates as he works to rebuild the state party, arguing that it cannot win by running as national Republicans.
