WINDHAM, N.H. (AP) — Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is planning to announce he’s dropping his Republican presidential bid at his New Hampshire town hall on Wednesday night. That’s according to a person with direct knowledge of the former New Jersey governor’s plans who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to disclose private discussions. Christie has been under intense pressure to exit the race as critics of Donald Trump work to unify behind a viable Republican alternative to the former president. It wasn’t clear whether Christie would be immediately endorsing one of his rivals, but he was overheard on a live mic ahead of the event saying that Nikki Haley is “going to get smoked.” (Photo: AP)
