“Chris Christie is running for president, he announced today at his alma mater, Livingston High School in New Jersey, becoming the 14th Republican candidate to enter the 2016 presidential race.

“America is tired of handwringing and indecisiveness and weakness in the Oval Office,” the New Jersey governor said today to a cheering crowd. “We need to have strength and decision-making and authority back in the Oval office and that is why today I am proud to announce my candidacy for the Republican nomination for president of the United States of America.”

Standing beside him were his wife, Mary Pat, and four children. Christie touted his middle-class upbringing, willingness to “speak the truth” and make tough decisions on pension and education reforms and government spending.
“I’m not looking to be prom king of America,” the 52 year-old Christie said. “I mean what I say and I say what I mean and that’s what America needs right now.”

The tough-talking moderate Republican’s campaign slogan is: “Tell It Like It Is.” And when it came to Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, he did just that.”
