Chris Christie in Fifth GOP presidential primary debate


On Principles & Values: I'd rather lose by telling the truth than lie to win

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, former President Donald Trump's most vocal critic, dropped out of the 2024 presidential race [the week before the Iowa caucuses] issuing a severe warning about the former president and his impact on the nation.

Christie made the announcement at an event in New Hampshire, telling a group of less than 100 voters that he has been "in this race to tell the truth."

"If we want to change this party, and if we want to change this country, it's hard work. It's not easy," Christie said. "From the moment I got into the race, the decision that I made was really simple: I would rather lose by telling the truth than lie in order to win."
