New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has announced he will not be seeking the Republican presidential nomination. After weeks of speculation, Christie said now is not his time.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie: “Over the last few weeks, I’ve thought long and hard about this decision. I’ve explored the options. I’ve listened to so many people and considered whether this was something that I needed to take on. But in the end, what I’ve always felt was the right decision remains the right decision today. Now is not my time. I have a commitment to New Jersey that I simply will not abandon.”
