New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie today endorsed his former rival, Donald Trump for the Republican presidential nomination.
The Advocate reported that Christie pointed to his family’s long friendship with Trump’s family, saying that he finalized his endorsement the day before, concluding that Trump was the best candidate to ensure that “Hillary Clinton doesn’t get within 100 feet of the White House.”
“This was an endorsement that really meant a lot,” Trump said. “Chris is an outstanding man, with an outstanding family. … I think this is the one endorsement I felt very strongly about, that I really wanted to get.”
