"Chris Christie's Potential 2024 Presidential Bid Shakes Up GOP Race"

Former Vice President Mike Pence and former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie are planning to enter the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination next week in long-shot challenges to the dominance of front-runner Donald Trump. Pence, who incurred Trump's wrath by refusing to support his effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election, is set to enter the race against his former boss on June 7, while Christie will formally announce his 2024 campaign on June 6. The growing Republican field concerns many Trump opponents inside the Republican Party, who fear a large number of challengers will splinter the anti-Trump vote and hand the party's nomination to the former president.
