[1/2] Former U.S. Vice President Mike Pence addresses the National Review Institute's 2023 Ideas Summit in Washington, U.S., March 31, 2023.
Christie, who advised Trump's campaign in 2016 only to become a vocal critic of the former president, will formally announce his 2024 campaign on June 6, a person familiar with the matter said.
The growing Republican field concerns many Trump opponents inside the Republican Party.
Trump has a massive polling lead in a Republican field that now has more than 10 declared or almost-declared candidates.
On Wednesday, Pence's polling average in the Republican field was less than 4%, compared to Trump's 53%, according to a RealClearPolitics average of polls.
