Chris Christie will take the stage at his biggest town-hall-style event yet on Tuesday.
With
a microphone and a setup reminiscent of the forums that made him
famous, the Republican governor of New Jersey will announce that he is
running for president in his childhood hometown of Livingston on Tuesday
morning.
Mr.
Christie’s announcement has been both expected and uncertain after a
string of setbacks including the “Bridgegate” investigation, a wobbly
state economy and Jeb Bush‘s entrance in the race. Many political
operatives believed he might decide to skip the campaign.
Yet
Mr. Christie, whom many Republican donors and elected officials urged
to run in 2012, is seizing what is very likely his last chance to seek
the presidency.
No
longer considered a front-runner, Mr. Christie’s path toward raising
money is unclear. However, the governor’s aides believe his now-famously
brash persona will allow him to rise in a crowded field of candidates
criticized as milquetoast or as mired in clashes over issues like
same-sex marriage and overhauling immigration.
What
makes Mr. Christie stand out — his temperament — has often been his
undoing over the years. Whether he can keep the focus on voters, and
avoid talking too much about himself while trying to connect with them,
remains to be seen.
