New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is discussing the momentum his presidential campaign has gained in New Hampshire over the past month. Endorsements by the Manchester Union Leader, as well as a number of elected officials and political activists have been accumulating, while Christie’s poll numbers continue to climb.
According to polling averages, Christie is currently in fourth place in New Hampshire at 11.3 percent, just behind Sens. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz. That’s almost 5 percentage points ahead of where Christie was a month ago.
Aside from convincing prominent Republicans to support him, Christie said his biggest challenge would be “peeling people off other candidates” before the Feb. 9 primary. 12 Republican candidates remain.
