Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie targets former President Donald Trump and Vivek Ramaswamy as he files to place his name on New Hampshire's primary ballot
CONCORD, N.H. - Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is ramping up his pledge to confront former President Donald Trump on the Republican presidential campaign trail, though he doesn't want to share his plans just yet. 'Get ready. That’s all I’m going to tell you,' Christie told Fox News Thursday after he filed to place his name on the presidential primary ballot in New Hampshire, which holds the second contest in the 2024 GOP nominating calendar.

Asked by Fox News about Ramaswamy's comments, Christie said, 'I don’t think he liked that treatment up there. I don’t think he was used to getting pushed back on. He’s used to just shooting his mouth off and have nobody interrupt and nobody tell him he’s wrong. ... If he doesn’t want to show up, I don’t think anybody will miss him.'
