Sh*t Just Got Real: Chris Christie Endorses Donald Trump

New Jersey Governor and former GOP candidate Chris Christie joined Donald Trump on-stage moments ago in Fort Worth, Texas to officially endorse the real estate mogul for the Republican nomination for President.

“The best person to beat Hillary Clinton is undoubtedly Donald Trump,” said Christie. The outspoken New Jersey Governor pieced together a competitive campaign for the nomination himself before dropping out two weeks ago.

“He is rewriting the playbook for American politics,” Christie continued in Texas Friday. “No one is better prepared for the strong leadership America needs than Donald Trump.”

Trump took to the podium to speak highly of Governor Christie as well, and extend his appreciation for the endorsement. Check back soon for video of the address.
