Chris Christie
Chris Christie is an American politician who served as governor of New Jersey from 2010 to 2018.
A Republican known for his blunt, confrontational style, he gained national attention for his response to Hurricane Sandy and his embrace of President Obama during the crisis.
His 2016 presidential bid failed, but he became notorious for his early endorsement of Donald Trump.
The "Bridgegate" scandal—in which his staff orchestrated traffic jams as political retribution—damaged his reputation.
He later became a Trump critic.
