'''Christopher Christie''' (born September 6, 1962, in Newark, New Jersey) was the 55th Governor of [[New Jersey]], having won in the 2009 election by a 49%-45% margin over incumbent [[Democrat]] [[Jon Corzine]]. A [[Republican]], Christie previously served as U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. In 2020, Christie played the role of [[Joe Biden]] during the preparations by President [[Trump]] for the first presidential debate, during which Christie, Trump, and nearly every other member of the debate prep team apparently contracted [[COVID-19]].
Christie declined to run for president in 2012, but endorsed [[Mitt Romney]] early and at a pivotal time when Romney was struggling with [[evangelical]] statements against him. But Christie was passed over by Romney in his selection of a candidate for vice president, despite how Christie might have attracted [[Catholic]] voters nationwide, as well as Irish and Italian American voters, and helped carry nearby [[Pennsylvania]]. Instead, Christie was picked to deliver the keynote address at the [[Republican National Convention]]. However, Christie earned the ire of [[conservative]]s with his fervent embrace of [[Barack Hussein Obama]] at a critical moment, likely costing Romney the election.
