. Christie’s expected offensive could prompt other candidates to also criticize the former president.“Clearly he has a passion to destroy Trump,” said Dave Carney, a longtime GOP campaign consultant in New Hampshire. “It’ll be interesting to see if he’s just doing this to be in the limelight, to bash Trump, or if he actually has something to say. And is he gonna run a real campaign?”

Doug Burgum of North Dakota are set to announce their presidential campaigns this week, increasing the number of GOP candidates to nearly a dozen.
