Both Parties Have failed
< < Go Back
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie returned to his alma mater on Tuesday to formally announce his 2016 presidential bid, embracing his blunt-talking persona as he strives to stand out from the jam-packed field.
“I mean what I say and I say what I mean, and that’s what America needs right now,” Christie said from a podium at Livingston High School, where he stood with his wife and children.
At times, Christie, who delivered his remarks in front of a large American flag and without a teleprompter, sharply criticized Republicans and Democrats.
“Both parties have failed our country,” he said, declaring he is “out to change the world.”
Christie, a former U.S. attorney who is serving his second term as governor of the Garden State, is the 14th Republican to enter the 2016 race.
“We need to have strength and decision-making and authority back in the Oval Office,” he said. “And that is why today I am proud to announce my candidacy for the Republican nomination for president of the United States of America.”
