Christie Ends His Presidential Bid in New Hampshire
Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie suspended his Republican bid days before Iowa caucuses. He said no path to victory and aimed to prevent Donald Trump from winning the nomination, noting his goal was to stop Trump rather than pursue personal ambition. Christie criticized rivals and faced pressure from Haley supporters and anti Trump allies. He left the door open to endorsing Haley or others, while polls showed Trump ahead and Haley gaining momentum in New Hampshire.
