Chris Christie Endorses Donald Trump For President

Chris Christie endorsed fellow Republican Donald Trump for president on Friday, giving the New York billionaire one of his highest-profile endorsements yet. Christie said Trump is the best person to beat Hillary Clinton, who is leading polls for the Democratic nomination. Christie, the governor of New Jersey, ended his own bid for the presidency earlier this campaign season.
