News about Mark Halperin

According to various outlets, Chris Christie is notably out of the Republican presidential election in 2024. According to Bloomberg and analyst Mark Halperin, the former governor of New Jersey will suspend his campaign until Iowa becomes the first state to vote on Monday. He is expected to make a big announcement at 5 p.m. Central Time, just five days before the Iowa caucuses and two weeks before the New Hampshire primary where he was polling as high as third. It's a shocking development that may be a big boost for Nikki Haley, as many of Christie's voters are expected to now endorse her. Christie's campaign was based on his reputation as the most vocal and adamant critic of the runaway frontrunner, former President Donald Trump. However, he has been languishing in polls, and he has been under increasing pressure to pull Haley, who has been building momentum, a better chance to beat Trump.
