Chris Christie, former governor of New Jersey, has made his bid as a presidential candidate for the Republicans official. The former supporter of ex-President Donald Trump, who has become a sharp critic, submitted the necessary documents for a candidacy to the US Federal Election Commission on Tuesday.

It was expected that the 60-year-old Republican would announce his candidacy in the evening (local time) at an event in the state of New Hampshire. The field of candidates for the Republican primaries for the presidential candidacy continues to grow.
